    My hi-beams, turn signals, intermittent wipers and radio controls on
    steering wheel all do not work and all went at the same time. Does
    anyone have any ideas? 2000 Volvo S80 T6

    If it's not a fuse, then you are experiencing electrical problems.

  3. So try the ground connections from the wheel.

    Cheers, Peter.

    The SWM,steering wheel module has probably failed.
    It is a circuit board mounted forward of the steering wheel
    on the column.
    The SWM will need to be loaded with new software.
    Only a dealer or independent with VADIS can do this.
    You could try this, remove both battery cables.
    Touch the battery cable ends together for 5 seconds.
    Reconnect cables and see if it helped.
    Removing and touching the cable ends together
    will reset all brains. The above will not erase any
    stored fault codes.
    Also the ABS brain can cause similar problems
    because of the way the network signals run.
    The path of information can and will pass through
    other brains on its way to the proper brain.

    Look for a loose connector in the steering column?
