Can the driver-side power window switch on a '98 V70 be fixed? Mine is sometimes failing and sometimes it makes a clicking noise (like a bad solenoid). Do you have to take the door panel off to replace the switch? Thanks, PC
You can pop the switch out without removing the door panel, but it's not easy to do without marking the door panel. Since it's so easy to remove the panel, then you can push the switch out from below. The switch will come apart, and if things haven't melted you may be able to clean the contacts, but there's alot of them, and they're on tiny fingers that are easy to bend. However, it really won't cost you anything to try. -- Mike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.

Takes for the tip! However, I was suspect of the clicking noise, like a starter with a weak battery, and pulled out the auto-reset fuses to the power windows and cleaned the contacts. That did the job! Pete
