Don't even think to try a LHD cluster in your RHD car without the above wiring change, you'll just cook the cluster.

IMO it's possible to misread the instructions depending on whether you assume that the first wire mentioned is loom or plug end. This wouldn't matter for A1 and A2 but would end up in a different wiring for A3-A6. Maybe I was just overthinking it... But to clarify: Swap A1 (BL Blue) from the loom goes to A2 (SB Black) on the plug Swap A2 (SB Black) from the loom to A1 (BL Blue) on the plug Swap A3 ( W White) from the loom to A5 ( GN Green) on the socket Swap A4 (BL/W Blue/White) from the loom to A6 (BL/GN Blue/Green) on the plug Swap A5 ( GN Green) from the loom to A4 (BL/W Blue/White) on the plug Swap A6 (BL/GN Blue/Green) from the loom to A3 ( W White) on the plug Also, on mine there were two blue wires in the blue socket, both are swapped together. Here's a photo of mine. Thank you again to CNGBiFuel! |

My pleasure. This is the ONLY way to truly sort this fault. I have banged-on too long and still the cro-magnum knuckle-draggers insist on cleaning or even replacing their RHD units for new.
Their solutions for reasons stated will only solve the issue if you don't drive the thing, and they'll take longer either in terms of time to earn their cost and/or repeating the job. This is £20 and half hour with chocolate block/ soldering iron. Solder and shrink-wrap as our man bassetrox did, if you can. Chocolate block is never really good.

Thanks to both of you for this:~ my car/new purchase started to have intermittent problems with the switch- after reading the previous mail I also purchased the L/H item.
In-between arriving I stripped the original & cleaned- it did take a couple of goes as it seemed to have a mind of its own! And guess what it seems fine now. Anyway I also sent off for some correctly coloured wire for the loom so it ready to do at some stage. Good Advice! Thanks Bob |

'Cleaning' what can't be cleaned because it's been burnt away can't not truly fix it. "Cleaning' just gives it a quick-fix and then speeds the final demise.

Very interesting, I've got issues with the rear windows, goes down but not up. Bought two s/h and had to to send them back as they were just as bad. May give this a try?

And if you keep buying the Volvo part new... It's a bit like the Tommy Cooper line: I went to the doctor the other day, I said 'it hurts when I do that' He said 'Well don't do it'

Just to add to this article for future users,
Post #10 in the origional article, which is what I went by, is wrong. Post #12 is correct. Bassetrox has got it right. See post#5 https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...19#post2454119 Thanks to all.
