I am receiving a "check brake lights" message. Only ther center light comes on. I have checked the fuses, replaced the bulbs on the left and right side and have swapped relays to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try using the search function. Seems i remember somthing about a shunt back there as a failure mode.

I located the post. It is titled, "P2 V70 & S60 headlight fix" and was posted by FUBAR. I'll try and see if the shunt repair works for the brake lights as well. Thanks for the reference.

Here is more on the post i was thinking:

This pic is for S80 but I believe brake light relay for V70 is in same location in rear fusebox. Front half of the cars are the same anyways. When mine failed only middle/LED light worked. You could try swapping 15 with 121 or 122 (fuel door lock/unlock relays) to test the hypothesis. eEuroParts.com sells them for under $20.

Unfortunately I can't post the graphic that shows the location. E-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send the whole file, or perhaps this is enough????
