    Mine snapped in half so either way I had to spend 100. But you helped me stay away from scam mechanics! So still thank you so much.

    Thanks dude, in my case my high beam stayed on and I did no know so my battery keep die, replace the battery because off course mechanics will screw you for anything possible and the problem persist it but he says was not related, thank you Volvo Dealer for the 350 dollars spend for nothing

    Thank you for that simple to follow. I did mine following a different video, but yours was clearer.
    That one said to clean the circuit board tracks with an eraser, which I did not have so I lightly brushed them with very fine sandpaper until shiny. I did not have any grease at the time, but the procedure is so easy that I can open it up again and apply when I get some.
    The wiper stalk was playing up so i did that one at the same time.

      I’m not sure if cleaning the contacts will help with that, but it won’t hurt. I have a similar issue with my heat/AC blower knob. Sometimes it turns up and down easily and sometimes it jumps around, I think the contacts inside are dirty.

    Great video for sure.....but didn't fix my problem....my xc90 high beam head lights don't come on and the high beam light on the dash doesn't light up...I believe the problem is the stalk. Any ideas on how to fix my high beams not coming on? Thanks. Randall

    • @diyhowtoandreviews
      @diyhowtoandreviews  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds like there may be a short or bad connection in the stalk or somewhere down the line from there. This fix should apply when the brights come on but don’t stay on or flicker. Sorry, wish I could be of more help.

  • @chadg6874
    @chadg6874 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Instead of di electric grease, could I spray some deoxit d5 on a cue tip and wipe that on the contact instead? Only asking because that's what I have handy and it saved me from junking the car when I thought I had broken the computer lol 😅 I washed under the hood and caused a transmission code, thankfully I found out through the trials and tribulations of others on forums that this deoxit d5 in connectors in the transmission sensor connector tree solved the problem, as it did mine! It says on the manufacturers description that it can be used to clean and protect potentiometers like volume control knobs, and it looks like this is a similar thing...
    And also, you are awesome for sharing this info. I was about to go pay $60 and pull the whole thing off a car at a junk yard and cross my fingers. I felt like it was a corrosion issue but couldn't be sure how to fix it without messing anything up... Somehow I was fortunate enough to find your video. I subscribed to your channel since I'm sure you've got other helpful Volvo vids (and sometimes they are just fun to watch for general insight) thank you!!

    • @diyhowtoandreviews
      @diyhowtoandreviews  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the kind words! At the end of the day I just want this to be helpful so I’m glad it was.
      I haven’t used deoxit from from what I read it looks like it should work since it’s safe for conductors. Honestly the dielectric grease for me is a “it can’t hurt” option. If it gets me another 6 months before I have to clean it again then it’s worth it, but it not like I’m going to an A/B test on DG vs nothing 😂. Good luck!!

    • @diyhowtoandreviews
      @diyhowtoandreviews  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also I may have to get some and try to fix the prevalent Volvo heater knob issue where you have to get lucky to turn the fan speed up and down. That’ll be my next video 😂

      @@diyhowtoandreviews nice! I didn't know about that issue lol but I am just discovering the "leaking coolant on the floor mat" problem which apparently $2 worth of o rings will fix if I'm lucky. Man your fix worked perfectly though. Works like brand new now! I had to align my sets of 3 pins too as I noticed the middle ones were low. I went ahead and bumped them all up a little with my q tip just in case... I cleaned the contact with alcohol, then applied a light coating of deoxit d5, then put some leftover silicone grease around the perimeter but not on the contacts, figured since the deoxit d5 is a conductive protectant, I wouldn't put anything over it, but wanted to seal the sides to keep dust from entering.
      The deoxit d5 is something I highly recommend. Ive used it for so many things and still feels like the bottle is full 😂

  • @loganjepsen4734

    I’m experiencing a similar issue with my 04 XC70. High beams and turning signals are completely out of service. Along with that all of my steering wheel radio controls and some of my cabin lights aren’t working. Before I try this method , is there a possibility that these issues are linked to a fuse or relay?

    • @diyhowtoandreviews
      @diyhowtoandreviews  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would doubt it, I’m my experience fuses (always) and relays (almost always) are a “they work until they don’t” part. Also the blinker and high beams use different fuses, even for passenger and drivers side (4 fuses total).
      You can check, but all 4 fuses would have had to blow out at the same time, again very unlikely as in the 04 XC70, the fuses for lights and blinkers are even in separate boxes… I’d bet a whole lot of money on it being the switch 👍.

    I am going to attempt this procedure today--but my lever has the "message" button on the end. Will this affect this procedure? I also don't have any dielectric grease--Is it necessary to use it?

    • @diyhowtoandreviews
      @diyhowtoandreviews  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope, you will be fine, mine has the message button as well. Also the dielectric grease just gives it a little more protection. I’ve done it in the past without it and it works fine, in theory the grease should help keep it clean longer.
