Default Left lights on - Battery Dead - Can't close/open driver window

Hi all new to the forum,

Picked up a c30 R Design this month, loving the car but this week I made the mistake of leaving the lights on while I was in work.

Now I came to the car and could not unlock it due to the battery, I could see the alarm light flashing. I played about and found the skeleton key and unlocked the door the manual way on the drivers side. The car alarm was going off at this point, stuck the key in the dash but no power and would not turn the alarm off. I popped the hood and jump started the car using leaders, turned over first time no issues.

Alarm went off.

Now driving home I noticed as it was night my drivers window, the one I used the key on would not open, the light that glows green was also not present. The dash said alarm needs a service but as the car charged the battery this went out.

Can anyone help me fix my window issue please.

Have you tried simply getting out of the car and locking/unlocking with tghe fob? Sounds obvious but sometimes we over think things. Volvo electronics sometimes do odd things..
