I accidentally left the driver side window open on my 2006 Volvo XC90 and along came a raging thunderstorm. After driving home from work sitting on a wet car seat, I noticed the anti-skid message was in the message box, the turn signals would not work, nor the high beams. There was about an inch of water in the middle cup holder, so I know the inside of the car got drenched. I am figuring the steering wheel is soaked inside, but not sure what or how to fix the issues. We have had the car drying out in 92 degree heat, took out the turn signal lever to dry it out and clean the contacts. Still no turn signals, high beams or cruise control either. Would really like some suggestions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Did you ever get this problem fixed? I'm having a similar issue.

Hi,

I originally changed the clock spring behind the steering wheel and still had the issues. I ended up taking it to an independent Volvo mechanic that we have used in the past. He found it to be the steering wheel module which is located behind the clock spring. I was going to attempt to change that myself, but figured it was better to have it checked by the mechanic and recalibrated.

Before I took it to the mechanic, I tried a foreign car shop, but they were charging for every single check they were doing on the vehicle.

The total cost was $700. Not a bad deal in my mind. But the clock spring was a bit over $300, so we have to add that to the bill!

Good luck with your issues.

 

Thanks for the info! One of my friends immediately suggested the clock spring. Since I have no water damage I'm hoping that's the solution, but I'll mention both of these to the dealer.
