Test / Replace brake light switch first (small button depressed by the brake lever when brake is NOT pushed - has only two wires). Test by connectung wires to one another and see if brake lights work. If they work, replace the switch. If they still don't work, replace the bulb failure warning sensor. It is a red cylinder with many (12?) wires going in and out in a round pattern on the open side - it isbelow and to the left of the steering column. You have to remove the panel below the steering column. Pop the plugs with a screwdriver to expose the screws beneath.

Reply 8 from Sean is probably best place to start. Try the bulb failure warning sensor first because it is easy to get to, above the fuse panel. The brake light switch is a nightmare to get out, you need just the right compact wrench and some yoga lessons. There are 2 switches working off the brake pedal, The long round black plastic (easy to get to) one is your cruise control switch. Attached through the steering column plate above and to the right of CC switch is the full metal break light switch. GOod luck!

Why does my 960 Volvo not start at times after making a short tripnothig happens when you turn the switch but let it set for an hour and she will crank this happens about once every six weeks?

probably a bad starter have it checked. This somewhat reminds me of my situation. I have a 960 and often when i start the vehicle the interiors to go on but the gears won't move, the seatbelt light doesn't flash, etc. If i tilt the key in the ignition back, ever so slightly, it will catch and the car's ready to drive. Alternatively, I would say it's a bad starter as I've experienced one of those in a 2001 Taurus and after too many of times of it 'just catching' it completely failed.

Where is the air conditioner high pressure port on a 1995 Volvo 850?

This is actually a trick question. There is NO High Pressure Port on the Volvo 850 Turbo. Service is done by connecting to the Low Pressure Side and using this access to both Evacuate and Service. Chrysler for a few years did not use a High Pressure Port and required connecting a Scan Tool to the OBDII Connector and taking readings this way but Volvo does not even offer this option. Todd

Why no tail lights on your 98 Volvo s70?

I had a similar problem with my S70 and discovered the headlight switch was defective. The switch had actually begun to separate causing the contacts for the tail lights not to make contact. Try having someone observe the tail lights while you push on the headlight switch. If the tail lights begin to work, replace the headlight switch.
