Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Today, I installed a new ignition switch. The original one would relectantly allow me to turn the key to OFF and remove it after a couple minutes of wiggling the key and hopefully hearing that click. I ordered one from a seller on Ebay for way $100 less than online parts stores are charging. I was h...

Re: High Beam Switch Issue

I resolved the issue with my high beams some time ago. In the end, it turned out to be the high beam switch, which I was what I was leaning towards. When the switch was disconnected, the problem would go away. The only curveball was that after re-installing the switch, the problem would go away when...

High Beam Switch Issue

I have no control of the high beams on my 2006 V50. Last night, the high beams began to flicker very rapidly and intermittently. I could also hear from the right side of the dashboard a switch clicking along with the lights. The high beams will stay on if I hold the lever but if I let go of it, they...
