Re: 1996 Volvo 850R Dummy/Dash Lights Stay On after Key Removal

Good question, I do not know as I disconnected the battery before installing the ignition switch. I was reading that I should do that as a safety measure. Is it safe to do that? I can give it a try. Just don't want to short anything or cause any issues with the airbag.

1996 Volvo 850R Dummy/Dash Lights Stay On after Key Removal

Hi,

So I believe this might have happened to a few on the forum before.
This just started happening, where after driving, when I remove the key, all dummy lights (excluding the Up Arrow light and the Check Engine light) stay on and do not shutoff. This also causes the car to not be able to lock ...

Re: Looking for Help with A/C Fan Speed Knob on V70R

If someone is able to do it in south Florida, happy to pay. In terms of swapping out the unit, the only thing I am worried about is that there are additional buttons below such as DSTC, Child Window Safety etc. can these be inserted in all of them?

Also, I just saw a new unit being sold on FCP and ...

Looking for Help with A/C Fan Speed Knob on V70R

There seems to be a known issue with the A/C Fan speed knob on the V70R. Over time, when you go to turn the A/C Fan speed either up or down, sometimes it will go up to the next speed as normal, sometimes it turns off, or sometimes it even goes up to full speed.
It was mentioned that for the climate ...

Neil.
It is a sedan. I also edited the listing as the car is currently at the mechanic to address any major issues.

Issue with Odometer and Flashing Service Light

I have a 95 Volvo 850. I noticed the other day when I was driving from getting gas to my storage unit which is about 6 miles away, that my Odometer, calculated about 17 miles. I have had an issue in the past where the odometer stopped working all together on another 850, but this is causing more ...
