Didn't see any posts on this specific issue and my general web searches were not very helpful.

I have a 2009 C70m 120k on the odometer. Generally serviced by a local mechanic, but I still do work on it when I can. The newer models are challenging to service, even for someone with basic skills and ...

hey all! I've been taking a break from Volvo mechanics for some time now, but after falling in love with a nice low-miles 2001 XC70, I find myself looking at solving some new mechanical challenges.

First on my list in the odd sag that my new car has on the driver's corner. Either I didn't notice ...

Yes, I've read the comments. but as I said. My lights are not on when the engine is running.

Rather than deal with AZ or another company, what specifically are we testing here? I have a multimeter. I get a lot of use out of it. Are there some procedures posted?

is that consistent with the lights going off as soon as the engine has been started?

I did pull the whole box assembly up and checked for loose connections, however, I did not go hunting for corrosion on the terminals. #3 probably needs a closer inspection.

I also just recalled. When I got this ...

Problem went away for a while, but now it's back and the lights won't go off.

However this time, I followed some good advice and discovered that the drain is on the #3 Fused Circuit. Pulling #3 stops the problem. Putting it back, brings the problem back. 'Course my courtesy lights and oil light ...

weird bit is that I unplugged the red/white wire from the alternator.. but half the dash lights still stayed on.

Somehow I managed to click it off (as noted above). I'll see if I can get the alternator tested, but until the problem comes back, I'm not sure what to think about this weird incident ...

*Might* have it figured out. I was rocking the fuse panel checking the relays and fuses, when I managed to cycle something. I checked the dash and the lights were out. The fuse that feeds the ABS pump seems to be focal point. Might also explain why my ABS light seems to linger when the engine it ...

I pulled the red/white wire from the alternator and this switches off most of the lights - not all, but most.

Perhaps the alternator is causing the problem? That I still have several lights on (ABS, SRS, OIL, CEL) makes me think this is not the total problem... or perhaps the alternator is feeding ...

1994 850 NA
My 850 just developed an extremely frustrating problem. About the middle of last week for no particular reason, the dash lights (all the warning lights) seem to have come on all by themselves. It was parked at home and had not been driven for a few days.

Wednesday, I went to take it ...
