Security alarm (fob)

Post by Scelsi »

I purchased a 98 s70 , unfortunately it did not come with a fob. Before I purchase a fob the instructions to program it states that the light indicator on the dashboard has to be light up to program it. My dashboard lite is not illuminated . Can a fob still be programmed if the light is not on? Also, how can I determine if the security light is still functional?
Thanks

Does it come on when you lock the car with a key?
And, you’ll need a dealer or an independent
shop to add a 9166200 remote to this car.
