Thanks for the video. I replaced my windshield washer switch, other side of the steering column, 2002 V70. The old stock snapped off. The old switch was held in by a tab, in addition to the two phillips head screws. I removed the T30 screw holding the supporting plate in place. It gave it a little room to move. Then I gently pried the tab with a flat head screw driver. The old switch slide right out. The replacement one, I bought on Ebay, slipped in and clicked in place. Reassembled and all works great. Thanks again.
I have a 2006 V70. I took off the switch like Matthew here. But what I did was that I opened the little circuit board which is in the removed part. On the below side of the circuit board there are slide contacts and you can also see the moving steel contacts which slide on them. I cleaned the contacts and carefully twisted the little metal contacts so that they have more pressure againts the slides. Now it's working again. If you try this be careful because the parts are small and get lost easily.
My son's C30 had intermittent turn signals. I carefully removed the green circuit board. I found some kind of grease on the fingers of the circuit board and the 2 sets of spring fingers. I cleaned it off both the with alcohol and put it back together. Same problem. Took apart again this time bending the spring fingers upward slightly to increase the contact pressure on the board circuit fingers. Put it back together and it's working. Wish I had some conductive lube to prevent wiper wear.
Awesome! Followed the video and fixed my 07 xc90 turn signal problem. The electric contact was covered with grease. I cleaned the contact with acetone. Make sure to align the small white plastic with electric contact properly before putting back the circuit board. Thanks!
I have a 1999 volvo s70 and the turn signal not working properly was due to the flasher. Not the turn signal. The flasher is the hazard switch. Replaced that one and it works ever since.
I have positioned another indicator switch for a disabled person on the right side of his steering wheel. The switch is needed as person cannot use the original with left hand. I have 3 wires and i want to connect them to the original indicator wires of this car. I have no electric diagram. Do you know what wires to use. I opened everthing up as shown on your video to see how it works but cannot do it form the inside. Can you pls help me
I have a 2001 Volvo S60 and my high beams won't stay on no matter what position the headlight switch is in. It has worked fine until about a month ago. I'm wondering if the switch could be my problem as well. The other thing is my dash lights for the clock, odometer, etc are also very dim and that happened right before the high beams stopped staying on. Any advice would be great because I'd like to fix it myself.
My turn signal started doing that after I hit a huge pothole. Hopefully it is just dirty and not a broken switch. Oh and do you need to disconnect the battery to fix this switch? Thanks.
I have a v70 D5 from 2004 and have the same problem .. i clean the conector But Did not help . I then try the full indicator from my father his s60 But stil Did not work ? I have to say i Did not take of the batery while doing that
I have an 02 s60 basically same issue. Trying to not break the bank since the car has over 210k. Do you by chance know if I buy Turn Signal Switch with the trip button if it will work when mine currently doesn't have a trip button. Thanks for any help, great video as well.
For 2001-2003 P2s: With trip computer = 31268578 Without Trip computer = 31268577 ------------------------------------------- For 2004 and up P2s: With Trip Computer= 31268566 Without Trip computer= 31268577 Trip computer stalk has the reset button on it.
I don't remember honestly. I like to play parts darts, and sometimes its cheapest and easiest to throw some simple parts at a problem and see what happens. this would have been a $500 fix at the dealer for sure lol. switches wear out, and the turn signal one can certainly wear out because it gets used a bunch ( well... I use mine).
the turns signals work, but the "read" button does not for some reason.... the car is currently wrecked, and I'll be doing a vid series on that soon I may buy a whole new turn signal unit eventually...but amazingly, the signal part is still working fine :)
I have a diffrent problem with the turn signal switch on my Volvo S40 2003. I can hear the turn signal sound (ticking sound) even when im not using the signal and have the seat belt on. The warning for seat belt off is the same sound as the turn signal, just faster ticking sound. Sometimes it smokes and smells burned from the switch. I will try replace the turn signal switch and see if that fix the problem. Someone knows what it is? I have video that shows the problem on my channel
Thanks for answer. I removed all the plastic covers around the steering wheel. Then I removed the turn signal switch, actually very easy to do. Just 2 screws and then unplugging the cables. Luckily i did not have to take the steering wheel off. I will go to volvo and order new piece. Hopefully the problem is fixed when i install a new part
Update: To fix this problem open the turn signal switch box and clean out the grease inside it. Maybe i should put new grease but i did not do it. I think the grease just is there to make it easy to move the switch up and down
Thanks for the video posting. I wish the video was more stable. All the moving around gets me nauseous so i could only watch a few minutes. Good info though.
to be more clear, I can set the torque setting on the drill /driver easily. I can set it so soft it doesn't drive the screws at all, or firmly enough to strip out the screws. I do use hand drivers, but certainly prefer power tools if at all possible, and I dearly love my drill driver .. ...hope this helps and thank you for being respectful

Tried out the turn signal out on the road...works perfectly!
How did she hold up through the years for you?
Thank you. This was a quick fix with your video. The hardest part was disconnecting the battery.
:)
Awesome! You just saved me $100 in labor and $30+ in parts. Got the switch online, installed it in about 20 minutes. You Rock, Matthew.
Katelyn Powell welcome!!

Sorry I haven't had this apart in a while... can't help you
@@matthewolson8875 ok thanks anyway

Nicole Mattis that sort of question belongs on the forum....try www.swedespeed.com :)
I had a blown fuse. Turn signal fuse in car drivers side. 5 Amp. Last on bottom.
glad yours was that simple!
Thanks for the info.
Hopefully it helped

First Last anything electronic ideal to unplug the battery....
NO. only ignition OFF!
I have a v70 D5 from 2004 and have the same problem .. i clean the conector But Did not help . I then try the full indicator from my father his s60 But stil Did not work ? I have to say i Did not take of the batery while doing that
VincV8 likely gotta look elsewhere for the problem then...if it's not the switch. ...fuse?

I think it'll work. .mine worked but the "read" button didn't work at first...but the signal was perfecr.
Matthew Olson Thanks it sounded like it would from one of the forums I read. Thanks for input and taking the time to create and post the video.
Brian C no prob!
Hi!
Do you know if I can use 2007 indicator in my 2004 Volvo S60, are they compatible?
Thanks!
I think they are compatible but I do not know for sure
+Matthew Olson Thank you, I´ll give it a try.
gotta learn how to work that camera friend! Im going to have to take a dramamine tablet to watch this.
For 2001-2003 P2s:
With trip computer = 31268578
Without Trip computer =
31268577
-------------------------------------------
For 2004 and up P2s:
With Trip Computer= 31268566
Without Trip computer= 31268577
Trip computer stalk has the reset button on it.
how did you determine that is was the switch? is it a common issue

oh alright thanks for the video and help
Mark Quezada you are welcome!
Just an FYI for other readers, FCP Euro carries new turn signal switches for this generation of S60/ V70. $100 shipped.
David1187 fcp is a good company to deal with ....in my experience
Echo that. They have so much of my money!
Rockauto.com carries the FCP item for about $55.00
Does it still work properly?
the turns signals work, but the "read" button does not for some reason....
the car is currently wrecked, and I'll be doing a vid series on that soon
I may buy a whole new turn signal unit eventually...but amazingly, the signal part is still working fine :)

I have video that shows the problem on my channel
Kranseloff I would remove as much of the plastic covers around the steering wheel and see more closely where the smoke is coming from....
Thanks for answer. I removed all the plastic covers around the steering wheel. Then I removed the turn signal switch, actually very easy to do. Just 2 screws and then unplugging the cables.

Contact Cleaner, Don't use sandpaper!

I'm working on getting better with my vids....sorry
thanks man, helped alot
Welcome! !
he used an impact drill to put the t25 back in place, should of been done with a screwdriver, #triggered, lol. jk, his car his decision.
JAMCastillo1 my Bosch drill is not an impact...it's torque sense.... :)
to be more clear, I can set the torque setting on the drill /driver easily. I can set it so soft it doesn't drive the screws at all, or firmly enough to strip out the screws. I do use hand drivers, but certainly prefer power tools if at all possible, and I dearly love my drill driver .. ...hope this helps and thank you for being respectful
