Problem overview

Some Volvo S60 owners report experiencing issues with unresponsive window and mirror controls, particularly from the driver panel. These problems may include intermittent functionality of the driver's side power window switch, which can cause the window to stop moving unexpectedly, indicating potential power delivery issues to the motor. Additionally, some owners have noted that the mirror controls on the driver's side may also become unresponsive, along with other functions on the driver's door. A common culprit for these malfunctions could be the central locking module, which may suffer from water damage, affecting the operation of windows and mirrors. To address these issues, some owners find that performing a reset of the Upper Electronic Module (UEM) by holding the window switches in the closed position can help restore functionality. It is also recommended that owners operate windows with caution, particularly around children, to prevent accidents, and ensure the vehicle's electrical system is set to ignition mode 0 to avoid unauthorized operation.
