Ignition switch - where to buy?
Car is 1997 V70 T5
OK, I have the well-known faulty ignition switch problem, where intermittently it won't power up all the car's circuits with the ignition on, a slight turn or wiggle of the key and it all comes on OK. I think it's now time to fix this properly as it's gradually getting worse. I know this is caused by wear in the electrical part of the ignition switch, and I understand it's not a hard job. So my question is, where's the best place to get one, apart from Volvo themselves of course? It seems that PFV don't stock them, any body here bought a good value one elsewhere? Cheers!

Edit: OK, done some more looking, and PN 9447803 is the right one for 850, and 9447804 for V70 up to MY2000. However, mine's an early V70, so will it be the 03 number or the 04 number? Any ideas? Does it have the PN written on it anywhere, because if it does I might well take the old one out and have a look, to be sure. Thanks! Cheers!

Hi Luxo
If you set up a Skandix account, you can then add a car by VIN then search for parts for it Might work. https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...witch/1014468/ But pretty easy to look at your existing switch. HTH Steve

Aaarrgghhh! Disaster! So this afternoon I took the steering column shrouds off so I could get at the electrical part of the ignition switch to find the right part number. In the process, not knowing quite how it all came apart I took the cover off the round plug that goes onto the electrical connectors - and the individual wires all came out, and now I'm not sure which holes in the plug they go back into. To make matters worse, there are 8 wires and 9 holes, so I don't even know which hole is supposed to be empty. I tried putting them back where they appeared to "want" to sit, and when I turned the ignition on all seemed to be OK until I cranked the engine - it cranks, but wouldn't start. I tried another combination but that didn't work either.
Fortunately I have a complete set of wiring diagrams for the car, and it has a picture of the ignition switch with an indication of which colour wire goes where, so when I get a bit more time I should be able to assemble it correctly. I just hope I haven't blown a fuse or damaged something in the mean time! What a silly boy...... The good news is that I eventually got a part number off the switch, which was 6849772 - looking at some suppliers this appears to correspond to the 9447804 number, and the picture of the switch on the Skandix site confirms that it has 9 pins, like the original on my car. The 9447803 part appears to have 8 pins, so I'm now pretty confident I have the right part number to order one. Wish me luck getting the ignition switch back together with the wires in the right place eh? Cheers!
