Hmmm V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be V70 Base Boy on  Sun Dec 7 05:50 CST 2003 [RELATED]

All I am saying is, I do not believe that the part has to be ordered from Volvo Sweden. I never said it was not the exact same part, because it is. The switch that failed on my car was the original that came with the car, and I noticed that it was made by a different mfg (Ymos) than the replacement I just got which is Valeo. Maybe back in the day, before the Ford T/O, you had to get the replacement from Sweden, but I seriously doubt that it the case anymore.

All I saved, at least monetarily, was labor? Yes, that is correct.

But, what I learned was far and above the value of the labor savings. Even if I never replace this again, and that is my hope, I'm happy knowing I was able to do it, and maybe, just maybe, help another Brick owner with the same problem by sharing my experience. I hope this clears any misconceptions.
