The bottom line is it was the DIM. It occasionally worked even though it was the wrong code. A new DIM solved the problem. The old one supposedly was damaged since part of the display did not work. I suppose the intermittent failure was due to the wrong code. I'm using inductive reasoning. Not 100% ...

My mechanic said it could possibly be another module upline, but since the repair, it was the DIM. Was the DIM faulty or was it the wrong code? Maybe both. Just wondering if anyone has more experience with these. I do appreciate your response.

It would intermittently go dead. Reconnecting the battery cables reset it. The lower portion of it was always dead. I did buy another one with matching codes, but I'm in an action regarding a bad radiator resulting in a blown engine. The DIM failing and causing all gauges to fail is part of the stor...

As I understand it, the DIM (driver info module) has a specific number that makes it compatible with your VIN. Kind of like padlocks at a hardware store. If you look, you'll see each lock has it's own number. If you find a duplicate number, the keys are the same. Anyone know what happens when you pu...

Thank you! Excellent info!

I wasn't available for a few days. It was a new radiator. The break on the neck is clean. I don't even see blade marks for cutting it off, nothing, but that doesn't mean much. My new mechanic didn't find the piece with the "lip". Since the DIM was malfunctioning, my wife didn't know it ove...

I bought the car from my regular mechanic. He got ill, then his shop did this. A Volvo expert installed a new engine and found the radiator leaked (!). I have the one he replaced, but I don't have the original one. The new one has the "burr". I don't know what brand the first replacement i...

Hello! My radiator was recently replaced. I have three problems: There is a neck at the top to attach the hose. Normally, aren't they supposed to have a "burr" or lip the hose goes over? Mine did not have that, and the neck is shorter. Was it cut off, or are some like that? Also, I'm told ...
