    S60 2.0T '04 rain sensor doesn't and auto windows don't !

    Can anyone tell me please if the rain sensor and auto (one-touch) windows can be disabled, and, more importantly for me, if they can be re-enabled ? Tried the reset procedure (held switches up for 10 sec etc) with no result.

    My NS mirror persists in looking skyward despite the correct position being stored in seat memory. Any thoughts on that ?

    And can I fit a boost gauge ?

    Super car ; only needs these bits sorting.

    Many TIA

    You can fit a boost gauge if you wish so
    Reinsensor cannot be disbaled completelly without extra parts. You can buy the CANbus function extender from Volvotech.eu and depends on your model it may be possible to use in intermittent mode.

    Auto roll down cannot be disabled. If you don't press the button fully, then it will not engage the auto function.

    I am misunderstanding something? The rains sensor only activates the wipers if it is turned on. If you don't press the button, the wipers won't activate.

    Are you saying that the rain sensor isn't actually working?

    There's is no button mate. It's on when you move the stalk down one click. Rain sensing switches off when the car is turned off. After starting the car, to enable rain sensing you need to return the stalk to the 'off' position, then pull it back down 1 click.

    Thanks all for replying. I must admit my OP was unclear. BTW I bought the car 2 weeks ago.

    I know how to use the rain sensor and one-touch windows, but they don't work. A friend suggested they were disabled by a Volvo dealer because a former owner didn't like them, and I wondered if this was possible.

    Having now been able to do some diagnosis it looks like faults in the control units. I'll have a go at clearing them, but fear I'll have to replace them.

    The boost gauge and 16" wheels will have to wait (17" wheels are too harsh for roads around here ).

    I was saying that you need to press the button to have wipers activated by the rain, otherwise you just use the normal stalk positions.

    I wasn't sure on the question, that's why i asked for clarification.

    So would I, but the rain sensor doesn't sense anything. Haven't been able to correct in software, so presumably need a new upper control unit and mirror !

    Is your windscreen original? Sometimes when changed issues arise eapecially with aftermarket ones.

    Thanks, I think it is. I think the problem's in the upper control unit in the mirror, so will be working on that.

    Get a software reload / vida to see the codes.
    are you getting alarm siren service message as that is known to cause problems with the upper unit.

    Yeah, mine has a button and so does the mrs s40. You don't move the stalk, you just leave it in the off position, press the button and then adjust the sensitivity.
    With ours, moving the stalk just does the standard speeds.

    I thought they were all like that pmsl

    Apologies to troll into this conversation, but I'm just wondering in general, if it would be possible to have the non button equipped stalk replaced with button ones? Assume its not that simple, as some electronic/programming voodoo would be required....
