HI GUYS/GALS;
new to forum,just purchased a 1998 v70 (private owner)
wondering why i got such a good deal.
tried to roll down windows, only drivers side responded from master control
didn't matter whether override switch was ON or OFF
then tried individual controls@corresponding doors
got drivers rear down[:@]won't go back up
tried door locks,@main control,seemed to work
then tried pass. side lock@control [:@]
now doors won't lock.
where should I start troubleshooting?

 

Sounds like you might need all new window switches.
Sounds like All of them are bad.

 

thanx for reply,
car has 156,000 mi. on it
doesn't look like it was abused,but not brand new looking either
is this a common problem w/ windows?
are there any relays/connectors I should be checking first?

 

Switches are very common to go bad.

 

what's a good source for new switches?

 

Usually only OEM.
The aftermarket ones are usually junk.

 

purchased all switches from this site

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=213784

listed as new OEM
paid just under $220.00 for all four
will post again when they arrive

 

Good luck hope they are all good for you.

 

ME TOO!

 

spent big $$ on new window switches.
still have no passenger side window function (lock function works on front pass. switch)
have ordered chiltons manual
but in the meantime ?????

 

Could also be a window regulator.

 

I would suggest pulling the door panel and testing for power and ground to the motor.

 

when using master switch, i can hear a click @the corresponding window i am trying to operate
neither passenger side window responds to any switch
aren't the regulators window specific?

 

Yes they are.
Another thing to check is in the door jam the wiring harness from the door is a plug with a turn lock connector. You have to loosen the little torxes screw first then turn the plastic. Check the pins on both sides good and see if one of the terminals slid out.

You still might want to remove the panel and check for power and ground at the motor plug.

 

thanx, will check that out
already had door panels off
had power and ground @ all motors

 

The if you had power and ground that swapped with the switch for up and down then the motor might be bad.

 

2 bad motors?
THAT WOULD SUCK.
anythings possiblethough.
hopefully, it'll be something stupid that i've overlooked

 

I hope so for you. Fingers crossed.
