2000 S80 Brake Module

Post by nana c »

Overall I am not going to dis this car. So far and knock on the fake wood trim I got it for a great price and I have had it a year as of Aug 2007 and it still only has 78K. It was and is in excellent shape in and out and starts on a dime and drives so nice, however I am currently having a very common problem with the Christmas tree lights on the dash that inform me I need everything looked at ie check engine speed control, sts, etc. but it is intermittent. I need to find a reputable person that rebuilds the ABS Module as I believe from what I have read that is probably the culprit. I have the un/and installation directions but I can't seem to find someone to supply the rebuilt...any help? Also, I am a little scared about the tranny issue...is there anything preventative that one can do to protect it...ie, changing the tranny fluid and filter more often and not slamming it into drive while you are still rolling in reverse....? Thanks, Nana

Welcome to MVS! Look in our Volvo Parts section for Victor Rocha who rebuilds the ABS (of course there are others- and you might also be able to do it yourself- see the repair database for this). So what makes you think it's bad? Otherwise, the christmas tree lights you describe could be a bad battery (or it's getting weaker), or bad ground or bad ignition switch. If the battery is good, try wiggling your keys in the ignition to see if this changes anything.
