I know there is a writeup somewhere but I can't remember which board it is on, I looked around and I couldn't find it. The display lamp is a little tough but certainly not impossible if you know how to solder. There is a good writeup with pictures here that will get you most of the way there. https:...

This is an old post but I need to update the crowd re Shifter Bulb. * The Gear Shift Light Bulb (PRND3L) is a special Volvo bulb as mentioned above, but it is expensive! However, I was stuck on Sunday and had to get the job done, so I used Radio Shack 272-1092 with success. Rotate the bad bulb sidew...

I did not take photo but just made this diagram to illustrate what needs to be done: - Twist the old bulb CW and CCW many times, it will break off the base. - Thread the new Radio Shack bulb 2 wires down the holes and loop them around the spade connector as shown (yellow lines). - I left the Radio S...

If the lack mechanism was recently replaced and the problem started after that the chances are that the rod from the key lock cylinder isn't properly seated in the socket on the latch mechanism. It is a challenge to get the rod lined up. In order to seat the rod in the latch you need to remove the k...

Lee, you're a genius! Thank you for the detailed write-up; I was able to fix it with those notes. Pictures would have been useless--that small grommet covered hole that lets you see the white plastic "phillips head" receptacle you talked about, and using a screwdriver to lift and push the ...

You need to get a volt ohm meter (VOM) and check for shorts. If you have a short you need to find it and fix it. If you keep driving the car with the issue you could ruin the wire loom and possibly burn your car. If you cannot find any shorts - pull the wire diagram and check the relay and shunt tha...

For finding a short one uses the Ohm scale on the VOM. One lead goes to a known ground point on the car, the other to the wire being checked. I would unhook the battery and let it sit for a bit - maybe cross the two cables to discharge the system. You can use the voltage scale to figure your power l...

Good News - Your car doesn't have any relays or shunts between the PNP switch and the reverse lamps. The 2000 70 series cars were pretty simple and don't have any goofy stuff like a Central Electric Module. You turn the key, the relay that provides power to accessories ( 2/6 ) energizes and makes po...

You will often find voltage at the load side of a disconnected fuse because of cross feed from loads with ballast resistors , diodes, etc on other circuits. If the fuse is blowing, you have a short or a failed component. Disconnect the component and that leaves the wiring. Often shorts are intermitt...

First 2 things I would check:

1) The brake dust shield is not touching the rotor.
2) It could be the support bearing on the RHS axle. It sits just behind the RH rear corner of the engine.
