Various Questions About My New 1998 S70

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 08 Nov 2004, 07:54

Greetings,

I recently purchased a used Volvo--a 1998 S70. I have some questions about it.

1) What are the red light in the doors called? My two front red lights are cracked off, and each one is dangling from the door panel.

2) My dashboard light is working on one side, but it fades on the other. For example, I can read most of my CD player and heat control dials on the right side, but the left side is faded. Is this a bulb problem? How can I fix this?

3) Whom do you trust for good used parts (online, for example)? I want to get replacement red lights (and may need to get a replacement bulb for Question 2)--but I don't want to pay $50 for two small lights!

Thanks!

i do believe they are bulbs, there was one that went in behind my dash (a light) and we removed it to find a small led, they are cheap to replace but hard to install just takes a while to remove some of the dash,

either way i do believe it is a bulb or a series of them,

Here is some info regarding replacing bulbs in panel switches, such as the ones for sunroof, tracs etc., I am not sure how to get to the bulbs on the audio system.

I think I worded the light part poorly.

If we're looking right at the CD controls and temp controls, the right 1/2 is lit and the other half is not. My TRAC, defrost, and other buttons are okay.

Thanks for your help, too.
