I have a failed switch and am curious as to it is a thing more or less
easily replaced? I suspect it is going to be VERY expensive to let my
dealer fix the thing so if maybe someone could offer some guidance as to
the best way to proceed.

I am reasonably skilled with tools and things,, but far from an
experienced Volvo mechanic.

The failure only affects the low beam driving lights and if I press the
switch slightly it will turn the beams on. It is something I can live
with, but I prefer to have the lights on full time as designed.

Thanks,

Ted S. in Texas

There is a service campaign (Recall) pertaining to this
complaint it involves replacing the headlight switch
call your local Volvo dealer & have your vin number of
the car handy so they can check to see if your vehicle
is covered

Check With another dealer there was a service campaign
on the S & V 70's I do not remember the number off hand
think it was #83 will recheck in the am & post back or
maybe Volvo might know the number

Thanks to all of you. I managed to extract the light switch out the front
of the dash and by judiciously applying some engineering with a big paper
clip everything is working perfectly.

All this free advice saved me about $150 and a long drive to the dealer.

Thanks all....

And it really breaks my heart to hear that I may have helped take some
money out of a dealer's pocket....
