Yes doing all of that, I'll check that out once I get back home. Thanks!

I can't find any loose connections or anything unplugged. So digging around online I found a PNP wiring diagram, looks like there are possibly some inline fuses going to the connector so I guess I'll plug around the fuse box. If I can't figure this out soon a big red for sale sign is going up in the window!

The thing that kicks me is that I can rotate the PNP from max to max adjustment and there is no loss of reverse lights like I see everyone dealing with. I even put the trans in neutral and rotated it thinking I may come into range but the lights never came on. I can sit there all day and rotate the switch back and forth all I want and the lights stay on as long as it's in gear, weird.

Will this scanner read transmission codes? I've used a guy I know across town who has one but would like to have my own. My scanner wont read trans codes.

That won't work. You'll need something like Vol-FCR and a VAG-COM KKL cable. Little info on this thread here: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... =1&t=68710

So you've got the PNP switch plugged in and the key in position 2; you're saying no matter which way the center shaft is turned inside of the PNP switch your reverse lights are always on? Where is the shifter set to?

You mentioned this isn't a Volvo part but I don't think you said who made it. I think sometimes our faith in Volvo parts may be misplaced but for electrical components staying OEM is worth it.

I know how frustrating this can be as I had to deal with a similar issue last Spring. It would be best if you could pull the transmission codes but without towing it to a dealer that will prove difficult.

Shifter in reverse or neutral I believe. I can manually shift the trans itself using a wrench and once it clicks into reverse it lights the lights.

I'm not sure, I picked it up off of Rockauto.

I had bent a pin while reconnecting the wiring harness.
When revisited the pnp...I noticed the bent pin. Fixed that. All was good since.

Does anyone have a copy of Vol-frc software? I'm wary of downloading an from an unknown source. I just ordered the cable listed above. Thanks everyone
