In WW2, the Italian government did NOT switch sides. Some of the leaders and businessmen of Italy and the citizens wanted to switch sides. But Churchill and England did not want the Allies to allow the Italians to join their alliance. Instead they demanded that the Italians surrender. This is why there was a long delay between the time Benito Mussolini step down in August 1943 and the announcement of their surrender on 8 September 1943, the day before the landings at Salerno.
The Italian government surrendered and their soldiers were disarmed. Of course, the German army occupied much of Italy and disarmed the Italians so they would not fight them. Italian civilians and ex-soldiers were allowed to be employed as interpreters, guides and carry supplies. It wasn't until a year later before some Italians were armed and trained so they could fight with the Allies. But this was only 5 combat groups (or battalion size).
There is a difference between how the Italian Government switched sides in WW1 and how they surrendered in WW2. This is a big difference and not just splitting hairs.

Did Italy turn against germany?
Yes, that did happen. In 1943, just as the Allies were about to invade Italy, the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was removed from power and arrested by the King of Italy. The new prime minister, Pietro Badoglio, began negotiations with the Allies to surrender and switch sides. In early September 1943, Italy officially "surrendered" to the Allies and declared war on Germany. However, Italy was split in half- the southern half ruled by the Italian government, and the northern half ruled by Mussolini (who had been rescued from imprisonment) and his German friends- so the war did not end for Italy until May 1945.
The driver side seat heater in a 1998 Volvo v70?
Could be just the switch (the button you push). To check, pop the center portion of the coin holder between the driver and passenger side seat heater switches. On both opposing short sides of the switch there is a clip that need to be pried open to allow the switch off of the harness. Just swap the good switch over and if it works, order a new switch.
