Cracking Window Rocker Switches
 

This seems to be a weak point with early-2000s Volvos, judging by the second-hand parts I see on eBay.
The window rocker switches on mine are cracking and disintegrating. I can’t seem to find them as a part in their own right, only as part of the whole switch module. They’re easy to remove, so I’m guessing they must be available, but I can’t find them anywhere, even using the two numbers on their inside:

97204
PA6GF30

Does anyone know if these can be ordered, and if so where?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you probably cannot get these seperately. Personally I would go for a second hand module if I wanted to save cash.

The rockers are still available next day from Volvo in a pack of 4 or 1.

Part number is 31295247

£23:04 for the pack of 4 inc VAT.

Thanks Alycidon - just what I was looking for!

For those curious:
PA6GF30 means "Polyamide 6 reinforced with 30% glass fibre"
Polyamide 6 = Nylon 6

Success with a cautionary tale.
 

I picked up a set of 4 replacement rocker switches for my 2010 XC90 using the part number helpfully provided above (31295247). When talking to Volvo they said the system stated the part would fit the passenger door of the XC90 and all doors on other models. But thought they would be universal for the XC90 too.

I successfully replaced two broken switches on the front driver and passenger doors. One came off with some effort, but intact the other disintegrated as I tried removing it, but happily, both were easily replaced by popping one of the new rockers on.

Moving to the rear passenger side door, the switch was completely destroyed in the removal only to find the replacement switches didn't fit! :confused_smile:

I called Volvo who said they had found an alternative switch for the rear doors costing £40 each! Fortunately, eBay saved the day and found a replacement unit, with minimal cracking for £10. They all look the same, they are not!

Dear Parallac rider, thanks for the post, pls can i ask how did you approach removing the individual cracked covers?

Many thanks for this info. When you replaced the window unit on the back door using the part from eBay did it require coding to the car?
