No warning light for alternator not working

XC60 2011 This seems nuts to me There's no warning light on the dash for an alternator fault. My serpentine belt snapped and the first warning you get from the car after that is a low battery warning when the battery runs down, shortly followed by the car stopping and all the electrics failing, whic...

Re: 850 GLT 1995 Windshield Wiper Won't Wipe

It's been driving me nuts for months. I replaced the blades with no joy but i j...

Re: Stuck glove box fix by Yeagermeister

Thanks so much for the info. Couple of points: If you have a right hand drive the distance for the from the edge to the drilling point for the hole is reversed, rather than being in the same place as for a left hand drive. I also put my screw in from the opposite side from yours (nothing to do with ...

Well the Velcro worked for a bit but then it started to come apart. I ordered the kit with the metal bits that replace the holes in the tailgate. This has worked fine so far and was very easy to fit.

according to mr Volvospeed http://www.volvospeed.com/Repair/abstrax.php In the last five years I have seen one bad wheel sensor, and hundreds of bad control modules. If a repair shop should replace your wheel sensors and your problem returns, ensure that the cost of that repair (parts and labor) is ...

The ABS controller was faulty.
The headlights is probably the switch but they didn't have time to check it
The headlight switch is a factory recall on the 1997 850 so it'll be free next time.
Reversing lights was the switch.

The CD cartridge on my Cd changer (1997 850) was stuck when I bought it. I took it apart (easy enough, just four screws) and removed the cause, which was a jammed CD. The in line fuse had also gone (probably due to repeated attempts to unjam the cd) Having put it all back together it works fine now....

I didn't see that first relpy before. I see your point, but If I flag up an idea and it turns out to be correct then they'd look pretty silly telling me it took them 3 hours to find the problem. If it turns out to be incorrect then I have lost nothing. As a follow up the ABS light and headlights not...
