According to the Poms you need a bypass relay

Any towbar manufacturer in Tassie should know how to wire up a Volvo I think, here in Adelaide one had a method of bypassing the bulb failure light by wiring directly behind the dashboard(didn't like that idea) another mentioned the bypass relay (Hall Towbars (08) 8262 8244). I eventually got my local Volvo repairer to fit a 2nd hand towbar which came with genuine Volvo wiring loom.... not sure if has a relay or not.
