Hi all, been working on upgrading my V70 GLT AWD (98) so far I've installed fog lights, apparently all were pre wired! I also got lucky and found my volvo fender emblem caps were wired for fender turn signals. On my recent junk yard trip I picked up a info toggle dash switch. The plug was behind a cap just as the fog lights were but no luck when installed. Anyone know if I need a relay or if it actually requires a specific Speedo?
Any info is helpful!

Check for a vacant fuse in the fusebox. The 98 should allow the info option if you have the large LCD beneath the odometer.

Go to Rspi's videos, one for options he likes to get from the junkyard, he details the trip computer, need to get the cluster that has the computer in the display. (Go get the cluster from the car you got the switch from.)
