Volvo C70 roof alam
Model Year: 2003

Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
I have a 2003 C70 with only 25000 miles on it. I have an intermittent problem with the electric roof as follows:-
I can be driving along and the roof alarm will go off for no reason. when this happens the rear heated screen will not work. Some times if I switch the heated rear screen on while I'm stationary then the alarm will not come back on.
The problem has now developed further and if I try and use the roof button in the close position the roof will open half way and stop. If I push it again the roof closes.
If I try and put the roof down in the normal way I have to do the operation several times as the roof will stop at various points.
I have had the micro switches checked and they are all working properly.
If I cannot solve the problem in the short term is there anyway I can turn the alarm off as it is driving me crazy.

You should be able to remove the fuse ,obviously your roof would be inop.does sound like a wiring issue ,would check that your main module for the roof has not let water in ,mounted inside boot at offside rear,as there was a recall on this.

You would need a diagnostic check carried out to see what codes are showing .The only link I have for the alarm refers to a 1999 model but may give you a clue as to location and switching off .
