Not lighting up!
Hello,
Picked up my 2008 2.4 Manual V70, chuffed to bits so far, but: 1. The lights indicated in attached picture do not work. 2. Whilst the rear window demister works, the two side back side window don't demist, it may actually not have them as it was dark when I collected, or am I just missing a switch somewhere? 3. The radio reception is ****, no FM reception (apart from hissing) at all, & AM is very bad. When you scan, it will not lock onto ant station. Can you Volvo experts offer any advice or suggestions? Thank you, David |

You may be best posting in the model specific forum for your car. Not everyone looks in the general forum.

The lack of illumination will be just blown bulbs behind the console, easy to replace
As for the radio reception, if AM and FM are both bad this means you have an antenna cable or antenna amplifier or antenna issue. Check the connections to the on-glass antennas on the side windows

Could the radio reception (if it is antenna related) be linked to why the read side window heaters aren't working either?

The side windows at the rear don't demist, those wires are the radio aerials
