They sold Jaguar, Land Rover, or Aston Martin.  They have a new CEO and are going through a huge in-house clean up.  Which means selling underperforming brands, among other things.  For a while there, Volvo was said to be on the chopping block, but they made the right decision and kept it.

I would appear so.  But if you ask me, power windows are fancy enough for these old trucks.

well i would think it is more then just in the switch..if it is you could just put a switch off a late model vehicle in the place of your current one. I dont know how exactly they work but i would think they would need a circuit board. It would have to  a) sense that you held the button long enough to want auto down b) turn off when you push the button again and c) turn off when it hits the bottom. If someone knew their elctronics or could get a schematic of the controller on a vehicle with auto i suppose anything could happen.

79diesel is correct.  I just replaced this on my 2000 Grand prix, The circuit board fried.
