I read many posts about getting my DIM repaired.
I checked out many messages and the suggested companies to repair the DIM.
I am not affiliated with the company in this solution. However, I am very pleased with the results. $135
I have a Volvo V70 2002 Turbo.
My issues:
My clock counted at high speed like a stop watch. It did this on and off for 2 years.
Recently my dash went dark. A few times it came back briefly but then dead.
Diagnostics:
I found a flow chart on one of the repair sites. Basically it is this:
Is check engine light on when start?
....yes
........Is doors windows work?
............yes: send dim in for repair.
....no:
........ Open and close door, does dim work?
........ yes:
................repair CAN comm wires in door harness
no
....is your car a XC90?
........check fuse #24 in driver side fuse box
....no
........remove dim, check power term 1 violet white wire
........(I did this by putting a wire into the harness and using a voltage meter connecting
........ to the temp wire and the other end to metal inside dash)
........Is there power (12v DC)?
............yes
................check ground pin 14 brown, used a temp wire from prev step and another temp wire
................checked voltage across 2 temp wires
................is there power (12v DC)?
....................yes: send in dim for repair.
....................no: check ground terminal wire.
............no: see flow chart

Re: Dashboard or DIM (Driver Information Module) repair
My 2003 did the same before it called it quits.
Another DIM was working fine for 5 min then all off but the check engien light
By the way, I have a 2003 XC70 DIM in my 2003 S60 FWD
There are several behaviors, and also several electronic components that go bad on the controller board - reason why the repair place must check the whole board thoroughly.
