850 stuck in park

This is my second 850 and the first one got stuck in park, too. Apparently it had a faulty switch and volvo keeps trying to get it right, but can't. I had to get it replaced twice, with two different generation switches, in my old 850. My "new" 850 started doing it last summer. I can get it out of ...

Oh I'm insulted. I've had experiences with Texans. You guys are a breed all of your own.

It's the hinge. I can't explain it. It happened with one of the doors on my last 850, too. NO I have not been swinging on the door like a monkey! But for some reason everyone thinks I have. Charged the battery (a brand new one. 20 days old. it was totally dead) put the battery back in today sans the ...

It's not a POS because it's possessed, it's a POS because it's on it's last limb anyhow. Even the door hinges are broken. No electrical modifications at all.

When I try to jump it, the horn blows until we take the cables off and the battery drains back down. Oh, and the emergency flashers go on but I never pushed the button. I think this ...

new battery, dead radio buttons

I have a '97 850. I just had to replace the battery and forgot about the fact that I was going to have to punch my code into my radio which means having to use two buttons that no longer work. Yes I own the car. I'm a little Georgia Peach. I don't go around stealing radios. How can I get the code in ...
