Have u tried the switch, unplug it, & short across it, to see if the seat works then?

Testimonial: "its all electronic, it worked before I pulled it from the other car, I thought it was the motor, when I installed nothing worked, not up down, back forward???"

SOURCE: I have a 98 Volvo S90. The electric seats

Try running the seats back and forth for their FULL travel. Electrical motors do not like sitting so much. Also get some white "lithium grease" NAPA has the best for about 8.00 with tax. Spray the grease onto the tracks. The motors can use a shot of a lighter medium. Try spraying and running the seats all the way front and all the way back 5 times. Do this once a week after that. This should help your seats to operate all the time.

Frozen hood volvo
I have a 1998 S90 also and the same thing happened to my hood. My mechanic soaked the hinges very well in grease and moved it up and down a few times and it worked fine. He said the hinges DRY OUT like everything else !!! If it cannot be opened enough to add the lubricant to the hinges, there are other problems with the release latch, etc. Good Luck !

I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada...Yesterday all of a sudden my passenger's side window stop working(up and down)...the power lock and the heated seat all stop working on my passenger's side...?
If you have an Owners manual, try looking for a fuse panel diagram. Your could have a bad connection inside the doorpanel which shorted the fuse. The seat drive motor must be wired to a separate circuit coming from the floorboard and its okay.
The circuits are wired independently to protect the lighter wires from the heavy drain of the seat motor. If you had the heated seat function working on the seat at the same time as adjusting the seat motor it would be too much for a single circuit, so they gave you two circuits.

If you are going to work on the door panel, disconnct the NEG battery cable so you won't short out something taking it apart.

Another Repair place you might try is a Glass Replacement shop. They install the inner workings of window tracks daily and remove the door panels to do it. They would be able to find your wires, test your window motor, and get you on your way quickly.

Unlike a Dealership, they have a high turnover of glass installations daily. Some even come to your house to repair your problem. Your car would be repaired more quickly with these services.

I have a 1998 s90 volvo with 226 k miles and it leaks antifreeze. The strange thing is that it does not do it right away after parking the car, it starts later. I can also open the antifreeze reserve tank...
I think I would check the thermostat.You can buy one that opens sooner..Like yours might open at 180...but you can buy them to open at 160....Flush your radiator..Might not be circulating good..cat converter could be slowing clogging causing pressure back tour you motor...Car will start back firing sometimes..loose acceleration... That's my list

Remove back seat 98 volvo s90
hope my experience with the '95 850 wagon will help, as they are not distant relatives :)
on each side was a flat pin inserted into the silver coloured alloy piece. First I had to remove that bit and then the seat had to be in 90 deg. angle to be able to nock it out upwards. Any other angle, no go.

good luck

Volvo S90 1998, trying to find service/repair manual.
Here's the answer. Contact a Carquest Auto Parts store(worked there 13 years). They have a division known as WorldPac. They can get you what you need. It will be the best repair manual you could have. It will be a little higher than Chilton, but it will be worth it. And Worldpac can get you any part for your car and they're all OEM parts at 1/2-2/3 cheaper than the dealer, and they're Volvo parts. I'd go with them. Good Luck.
