How to Replace Volvo Rocker Switch Bulb
Here is the replacement bulb youll need. I had to order from Radio Shack. ( part # 272-1092 ) It was like 5 bucks for 4 bulbs..
First off.. remove the switch, simply pry it out of the dash and it just pops out. Then unplug. Once you get it out flip it over and youll see the bulb..
Use a small screwdriver and turn the bulb counterclockwise and remove the bulb
Once you remove the bulb take a small tip screwdriver and stick in the slot and youll see the end of the bulb wire. Peel the wire back and unwrap it from the bottom of the bulb ( both sides ) then pull the bulb out
Once the bulb is out you’ll see the two holes in the bulb holder, insert the two wires in the holes of the bulb holder and then wrap it back around as the old wires came out. Trim the extra wire off.
Insert the bulb back into the switch, give it a partial turn clockwise, and re-insert the switch and there you go

Bonus – Volvo Facts
1. The company is based in Sweden
The parent company got its start in a town called Gothenburg. This is a relatively remote village in Sweden that has become something of a legend, largely because of the existence of Volvo. Thanks to their very presence, more jobs have been created and the entire economic strength of the region has been improved. You might even go as far as saying that Volvo revitalized this area. It’s definitely something that people in Sweden are proud of.
2. They also produce heavy equipment
As far as the parent company goes, it’s not just automobiles that it’s responsible for. While it’s true that it also produces buses, it’s even better known for producing heavy equipment, mainly for construction sites. This is something that most people are largely unaware of, leading them to feel somewhat surprised when they find heavy equipment with the Volvo name attached to it.
