Re: Shift lock, ABS issue 1996 Volvo 850

Thanks, Lee.

Shift lock, ABS issue 1996 Volvo 850

I Just bought a 1996 Volvo 850. I noticed it occasionally won't shift into drive. A restart often does the trick. If not, I use the override button. But here's the problem. Whenever I use the override the ABS and Track lights remain on. Worse yet, the blinkers do not function (and there may be other...

burning smell, sluggish performance 1994 850 wagon

I bought a 1994 850 wagon four months ago at 121,000 miles. After 5,000 miles of flawless driving I detected a burning/bad combustion smell on one occasion, then not again for about 500 miles, then came a second episode, then nothing. Here are the symptoms: 1) I've just noticed that the smell accomp...
