Re: 1994 940 Bulb Out Warning...but no bulbs out...

Thanks for the replies (and I was only kidding about holding it to you Jimmy, haha). I guess I'll give it some time and if nothing happens, I'll try replacing both headlight bulbs to see what that does. Thanks for all the help. I'll update everyone when something new happens!

Re: 1994 940 Bulb Out Warning...but no bulbs out...

This is probably a dumb question, but how could the switch cause the bulb out sensor to go off?

I'll hold you to that, Jimmy! :lol:

In the meantime, if I were to go to a junkyard, should I get an extra relay?

1994 940 Bulb Out Warning...but no bulbs out...

Today when I started up my 1994 945, the "bulb out" warning light came on. I got out of my car and checked every light that would trip the sensor: Parking lights, headlights, and tail-lights (I can eliminate brake lights because the light is permanently on). Every single light worked. Curi...

Re: I am finally a Volvo owner!!! What now?

I still can't believe how nice a lot of them still are. They're getting harder to find, but there are still gems out there! They have their quirks, but I just say they "add character" You say you already have a manual, but I would definitely recommend the Haynes manual--it's helped me trou...

Re: Eyeballing a '95 940 Sedan

I recently switched from a '96 850 Turbo to a '94 940 Wagon. Like writer100 said, they're not fast, but they'll always get you there. They are so much easier (and relatively cheaper parts-wise) to work on (for example, the timing belt!). I think the 940 is a nice bridge between the 240 and the 850. ...

Re: I am finally a Volvo owner!!! What now?

I would agree with changing out all of the fluids. If it's been sitting, you don't really know what's been caked up over the years. I think a good place to start would be a general tune up to get it running in decent order. I think a clean car runs better so if you (and the weather) are up for it, a...

Re: Water Pump Brands: Is any one better than another?

I'd like this car to last me through at least college/student teaching (so about 4 years or so). As much as I'd like to buy the Volvo Genuine pump, the number's don't really work right now. While the GMB is the cheapest one I would consider, if people are saying good things about the HEPU ones, it m...

Water Pump Brands: Is any one better than another?

I have a 1994 940 Wagon that is leaking coolant fairly regularly. After checking the usual culprits, my water pump seems to be pretty suspect. I've looked on iPd, FCP Groton, and eEuroparts as well as checked with my dealer and the price range between the different water pump kits it HUGE! Is there ...

Re: Which wind fairing to get

I had a 872XT on mine. It was 44" across and fit perfectly to my Thule bars.
