All fixed! Thanks for the heads up!

My lack of testing is exposed, again.

Just a quick September 2017 note for anyone contemplating replacing the heater core in this series Volvo. Read the How-To's available here at this forum. Watch the RobertDIY YouTube video (Robert's a contributor here.) After doing this research, my experience today was that there were no surprises, ...

I had a similar problem on my 96 855 with the rear LH turn signal. Oddly, I'd get the bulb failure warning only when the brake pedal was engaged. So, sometimes I would repeatedly tap the brake at an intersection to flash the indicator, or pop into neutral and e-brake.. ANYWYA, I checked, adjusted, a...
