Re: Replacing Headlight Switch on '98 S90
If the headlights come on it's the ignition switch and not the headlight switch. The ignition switch is connected to the back side of the key tumbler assy. A couple of screws and it pulls off. While I'm at the junkyard, I might as well see if I can find the parts to fix this issue as well. Is there...

Re: Replacing Headlight Switch on '98 S90
[youtube]https://youtu.be/ro3nZNNJkQc[/youtube] Awesome! I was able to remove the broken headlight switch. I'd like to get back on the road and be able to drive safely at night as soon as possible . None of the Volvo dealership in Houston have this part in stock. And the earliest I could get a used...

Re: Replacing Headlight Switch on '98 S90
I had this problem on a 960 once. It ended up being the ignition switch behind the key. I could make the headlights come on by turning the key back towards off. Just a little bit, not enough to kill the engine. Not saying this is your problem, but very easy to check. Oh no ... I'm very familiar wit...

Replacing Headlight Switch on '98 S90
As I was driving around Houston tonight, I noticed both the headlights (low beams) go out at the same time on my 1998 Volvo S90. I checked all the fuses and they're still intact. The high beams still work when I pull-and-hold the lever, but won't go into their "permanent on" mode. The prob...

Replacing Outdated Spare Tire or Wheel in 960/S90
I have a 1998 Volvo S90, and it still has the original factory spare wheel & tire. The tire is completely dry-rotted, and won't hold any air, so its useless. I'd like to replace it. The problem is, that the spare wheel is designed to take a 125/ 90 R 15 .. BUT NO ONE MANUFACTURES THEM ANYMORE ! ...

Re: Repairing punctured radiator tube in S90?
That lower part of the radiator is vulnerable on number of vehicles and gets damaged from road debris. I have replaced 940/960/s90/v90 rads for harm in that area even when the lower air deflector is in place. Once you get it repaired you can protect it by cutting a piece of hardware cloth and fashi...

Re: Repairing punctured radiator tube in S90?
Is there anything more permanent than JB weld? JB Weld is permanent if you get a good bond, which is true for all welding, that why you need to clean the metal with Acetone. JB Weld works on all metals. There is only two way to remove JB Weld once it is cured. Grind it off or heat it to 600 °F or h...

Re: Repairing punctured radiator tube in S90?
Is there anything more permanent than JB weld? I've seen a few videos of people using "low-temperature" aluminum brazing rods to repair their radiators ... and I own a propane torch. But I've never soldered/brazed with it before. A third option I've heard about is just crimping the tube cl...

Re: Repairing punctured radiator tube in S90?
Looks like its probably aluminum from reading the replacement options over at RockOughto. But the genuine Volvo part might be different. Their website really doesn't give any useful information
