Window Switch Repair/Replace V70-XC70 2000

2000 V70 SE, 180k miles, AW5

The Board searchable archives has been very helpful in scoping this repair. There are various and many combinations of window switch trouble posted there; no one is quite the same. It also looks like the 1998-2000 switches are not the same as the 850 and 2001 =>. And while 850 switches can be disassembled and cleaned, that's not the case with S70/V70 switches.

Daughter's car (in family since new), she's 300 miles away. I have new Volvo OE driver's switch pack and rear door switch. I will drive there and do the repair.

Symptoms: Rear passenger door window goes down, won't go up from either driver's switch or door switch (She doesn't want to operate it anymore; the window is now halfway and it's rainy season). Rear window safety switch checked to be in the enable position.

Intended repair/replace procedure:
- Tools: two 1" putty knives wrapped in tape
- Spray contact cleaner in switch as first step; test
- Disconnect and reconnect battery; see if system cycles and resets (some posts have suggested this).
- No plan to remove door panels.
- Use wrapped putty knife and carefully pry driver's switch out; remove wire plug connectors, replace with new switch and snap in place.
- Test
- If OK, done. If not Ok, also replace door switch with same procedure.

After that, if not working, it's trouble that's more complex and beyond me.

Comments/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks, Robert
