1990 760T Warning Lights On Car still Runs Any Tips???

Post by volvo29 »

I have a 1990 760 Turbo with 230K on the odometer and just recently in the last two months the engine light comes on then the anti-lock light and now when I accelerate on the hwy the SRS light comes on.

I changed the alternator a few months ago. I had a Volvo mechanic (not a dealer) change it so its not the dreaded alternator issue.

the car runs fine however some times all the lights are off when the car is started other time its just the engine light.

Any tips as to why this occurs? Could it be the master computer or something?

Im not a repair kind of guy but I can do some tinkering.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

You mention twice "the engine light". Which light is it, check engine, engine service reminder or the alternator light?
