I have an 850 R and the drivers side, sun visor keeps falling down. Is there a way to fix this problem?

 

I had this problem and ended up picking up one from one of the forum members who was parting out his 850. I really couldn't figure out any other solutions.

 

Thx man. I might do the same.

 

I have purchased a few of them from the stealer, cost me about $110. I was going to disect one but couldn't find a spare. Next time I replace one I will.

 

Yikes, I got my used one for $20 plus shipping.

 

Just called the stealer, $136. Also checked eBay, $19 - $50. I'll try eBay soon. I think I have a bad one in my T-5R.

 

I just replaced it and now the interior lights dont work and the door chime doesnt go off. I cut the wires and spliced em with the new visor wires. Black to black, red to red. You would think it would be that simple, but obviously it's not. Anybody have any ideas? This ever happened to you?

 

I have replaces several of them with no problems. The first one I did the wire splice method but every one since I just pull the pillar post loose and plugged it in properly.

Can't imagine why those problems would be related, however, pull it back apart and make sure you covered your wires good and don't have a short.

 

Just a thought, you didn't cut both wires at the same time did you? If you did you could have blown the fuse which is causing everything to not work now. Check your fuses very possible....

 

Ok, I'll check em, thx

 

Oh yeah. It was a 10 amp fuse that blew. Replaced it. Everythings all good now, thanks!

 

Bought a visor from Erie Volvo with a lifetime guarantee. After about a year it started dropping too, I called and told them and they sent me another one with some other stuff I was ordering free of charge. I blew the fuse cutting the wire too.

 

I've seen it a few times at work! Glad I could help!

 

Why are you guys cutting the wires when all you have to do is pull that pillar loose? It plugs in near the windshield base.

Besides that, here is a fix for the problem.
