After some more research...I think it's a problem with the radio unit itself...Yes the back speakers are old and the magnets have fallen off but they do still come off and on...the rear door speakers are doing the same thing, cutting in and out...so when I mess with the fader knob on the radio and ...

I have a problem with the rear deck speakers...they work every once in a while...this morning they actually came on for about 5 minutes and then just quit...I don't know if I should be looking for a short or if the radio itself is going out...Any help would be appreciated...I took the unit out and ...

Under the main cap or under the single wire that goes over and plugs into the box over the driver side tire well? Sorry for the dumb questions but I'm a newbie to Volvos...thanks for the quick reply!!!

I know what the code sheet says but what am I really looking for and what parts do I ...

I have a similar problem...my car won't shift out of park without me pressing the shift-lock button and the button on the shifter knob...94 850 Turbo...think I read something about puting the key in the ignition and setting it on the number 1 setting and clicking the shift-lock button to release the ...

jblackburn...thanks for all that info...more than I expected but glad I have it...we have a shop at my house and my bro and I are both very mechanically inclined so we should be able to do most of the work ourselves. I'm gonna write down the info you gave me and keep it handy...also gonna find out ...

Also what oil and filter is recommended?
