Hello everyone, I bought my first Volvo recently and enjoy the car. Seem to have a problem with master power windows control. Car is an S40 2006 with 18,000 miles. Sometimes windows will not go up or down, but 10 minutes later the unit will work. Power window switches on individual doors do work all the time. Is this a problem with this model? Would this be covered by warranty? Ariesba1

Seems for me that the problem is with some kind of random disconnection on the drivers door master control or with the wire harness, check for loosen connectors on the drivers door.
As a test if you experience the same problem again try to use the remote key to control the windows (if your car is already set up with this functionality), if the windows respond to the remote control then the problem is with the door master control.

My uncle works for volvo and he said it was a simple software update. It should be free.

hi it might be similar.... see my reply on this post

Apparently there is going to be a big "campaign" (in the uk anyway) as the shop called it on checking for worn wires in the door pillars as it causes all sorts of problems. i seem to have had all of them so far :(

yours may be related... it will be about 4/5 hours work so you will be without your car for the day but if it sorts it, that cant be a bad thing.

Hope this helps.
