I don't think these are related issues, but I could be wrong... only because I know I cannot open my sunroof (it will not close then...) so when my window switch bank crapped out, that is what I replaced and it fixed the window issue. The window switch banks are VERY commonly replaced. I sent my broken one in and I was sent a refurbished one. This is better than the crappy aftermarket ones, which i tried twice and they were horrible!! I finally sent mine to Swedish Car Parts in Chicago. When the wierd guy on the phone told me he could fix it I was a bit hesitant, but I am happy with my "new" used switchbank!It WORKS and has for over a year. What more can I ask for?????

These may actually be related issues. They all happened at exactly the same time. On my 98 Volvo S70, a broken switch on the Master Window Control Unit caused a window to be constantly engaged. This may have been what caused a relay in the fuse panel (under the hood) to become very hot. My problem is currently unsolved, but this is what I know:
- The fuse labeled "sunroof" is fine. The dash lights go out when it is pulled.
- The power locks function properly.
- The Rear Lockout Rocker has no effect.
- The power mirror switch also does not function.
- When the Master Window Control Unit is physically disconnected from the wiring harness, the fuel door does not operate - but it works fine otherwise.
- I replaced the Master Window Control Unit with one from a junk yard which provided no remedy. Perhaps both are defective.
- The relay under the hood that had become hot has been swapped with it's neighbor (assumed to be functioning) which provided no remedy.
Can anyone offer any other missed opportunities?
