Access to 2000 V70 electric window switches

Discussion in 'Volvo V70' started by Rodney Koontz, Jul 16, 2004.

  1. Can anyone explain how to remove the electric window switches on my 2000
    V70? I removed the small, square caps and the retaining screw in the door
    pull recess, but the switches are still firm in place. I'm pretty sure I
    have a short in either the front passenger switch or the corresponding
    switch on the driver's master switch. Any help is appreciated.

    the switch panel is a press fit in the door panel you need a very thin blade
    screwdriver to remove since you did not detail your problem as to what is
    not working it is hard to determine what might be going on but if you can
    not get the window to work it is the master switch that is @ fault

    I find it easier to remove the whole panel and push the switches out
    from below, and this way there's no chance of leaving a mark when prying
    it out. The only other thing you need to remove is the trim around the
    door release handle. Be careful the edges on that trim are sharp enough
    to cut your fingers. Then the bottom of the panel is just held on with
    standard clips. Note the lock button does not need to be removed - if
    you try to unscrew it you'll just break it.
