Volvo V70 turn light activator

Question

The left stick behind the steering wheel is missing a piece as you can see here:

I was wondering if this is replaceable and if so what the part number would be.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can find the parts list for Volvo online here. The link of interest will be Home> Volvo> V70> 2001> Electrical system> Switches, turn indicators, main and dipped beams, WIPER/WASHER

And it looks like the smallest part they sell is the entire turn signal switch. It looks like they run between $67 and $148.. Hmm.. not cheap. The price depends on the options, and as I suspect your luck is just like mine, yours is closer to the $148 number.

Another alternative is to check the parts window at your local Volvo dealership, but I suspect they will have similar results and prices as shown above.

Do you still have the broken parts from the original one? This might be a fun and rewarding 3D plastic printed part exercise. You'd have to "design it" with a CAD system (I use SolidWorks) but there are other options available. You need a complete 3D digital model of the part. Then you could just print out a new one. I would recommend black ABS for the material. I'm pretty sure the broken part is ABS, so that's a match.

Oh, wow. I just checked. You can buy grey ABS as well. A roll is around $25 depending where you look.
