To all members of this forum: As the year closes to an end, it is well appropriate to say good bye to all that have helped me maintain, enabled me to perform unvaluable repairs of my old Volvo 850 GLT. After so many years...(almost 19 years of usage) I finally had to let it go, as it had become a co...

Hi everyone... I have been away and had not had a change to take hard look at the car until now. Apologies for taking so long and leave this subject dormant for so long. I would like to update all on few things I found out: The right side green connector on top of the instrument (when you take it ap...

My car is a 96, so it does not have this type of shut up valve. However I got the problem solved some times now: I found out that the short rubber hose off the gas tank going to the inline valve hiding by the fuel filter had a large crack along side of it. The crack was along side the underside of t...

I think it happens to people that reset the trip a lot sooner than later. Agreed! Specially for drivers who tend to reset while the car is in motion. I happened to have replaced that small gear twice. I instinctively reset the odo while I was travelling over 50miles with the newly installed gear. I...

.....It can go 50/50 in either direction. They all fail the same way as far as the cracked joints go, its just which ones crack first. Yeap, I will go with that. Has anyone gotten a hold of either a detailed diagram or schematic of the ABS module. I would be interested to take a look. Also I will n...

An excellent writeup on ignition switch replacement found here: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=37398 Thanks for the link. The switch does not appear to be difficult to get to. I am making plan to check it. Regarding the ABS controller, Matty Moo is probably right i...

Wiggling the key makes all these go away and the speedometer starts working again. I'll be replacing this switch soon. You may be have a point. I gave a hard bang to the dash above the cluster, that may have "put in order" what ever is intermittent. I would be interested to take a look at...

Disabled as in it quit working and you never fixed it, or you did something to disable it intentionally? No, the ABS became defective as is the case for most people on this forum, after a few years. I attempted the fix for the module. That works for some months but it quit again. So I never bother ...

Sorry for the delayed response... Yes my ABS has been disabled for about 10 yrs now. Never has a probleme with the speedo. I have not had a chance to do a diagnosis due to extra workload at my job. Will see about tomorrow... In any case if you guys think of some thing that can help please do not hes...

Hi Guys, My beloved 96 Volvo 850 GLT speedometer has stopped working. I am not too sure where to start with the troubleshooting. Some months ago (in Nov 11) I replaced the small gear for the odometer. Everything has been working fine...and now the speedo is acting up. Any idea where to start? Speed ...
