Re: 1996 850 Dashboard lights

Got the cluster back in ok, and managed to pass re-inspection today. I ended up shuffling some of the indicator bulbs around to make sure we passed before the bulbs get here, since I don't think they're even shipped yet. The only thing we have to deal with now is the fact that we need new tires and ...

Re: 1996 850 Dashboard lights

I read through a lot of the comments, and I found a guy who mentioned replacing the indicator bulbs with flosser 12v 1.2w. I searched for those and managed to find a 10 pack for around $10.

I pulled the cluster out using the instructions you gave me the link to (thanks again, by the way), and we ...

Re: 1996 850 Dashboard lights

Thanks! The repair page with pictures is really helpful. I haven't read through the whole thing yet, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the specific bulb was so I can try to find it in a store nearby. I looked online, but I found three or four different types of bulbs that all claim to ...

1996 850 Dashboard lights

Ok, so by now I've made several posts about the 850 I recently bought. I fixed the brake light issue, and I got the car scanned to see if it still had a fail code showing on the ODB II. It passed, so it seems like there are no real issues, other than the fact that the check engine light doesn't seem ...

Re: Gotta replace the secondary air pump on my 96'850 GLT

Thanks for the info! I'm pretty new to Volvo ownership, and this is actually the first car I've ever bought for myself. Our other car was a gift from when my great-grandma went to the nursing home and couldn't drive anymore.

Also, having grown up in the South (TN and AL), I never had safety or ...

Re: Gotta replace the secondary air pump on my 96'850 GLT

I just bought the car this past weekend, and I haven't driven it much at all because I don't have it registered yet. I said replaced fuel management system because on the back of the form were a list of items with three boxes to check for either repaired, replaced, or recommended. He checked off ...

Re: Gotta replace the secondary air pump on my 96'850 GLT

Thanks for all the help you guys. I just found the paperwork from after they failed the MD Emissions test with the P0410 code, and the repair notes on the back said he replaced the fuel management system and put in two new O2 sensors. Would this is any way have affected the code? I know he got a ...

Re: Gotta replace the secondary air pump on my 96'850 GLT

Is there an easy way to tell if the work has already been done? I don't have a check engine light on or anything. I only found the code mentioned on an old diagnostic report from 2008 that was in the car. Just trying to figure out what if anything I need to do before getting an inspection. Thanks ...

Re: Gotta replace the secondary air pump on my 96'850 GLT

And the bypass doesn't show up when they do an inspection in VA?
