Volvo Repair: 2001 Volvo S60 2.4T, genuine volvo, bulb failure


Question
Electrical problems growing and dealer can't seem to fix.  Started with rt. door side mirror going to max up position every time turn off little over a year ago after my wife hit side of the garage door breaking the mirror.  Replaced with a salvage mirror unit myself.  Then about a year ago, Bulb Failure, Position Light warning won't clear and no bulb out.  Then Check Brake Light warning won't clear, no bulb out, flashes every time hit brakes.  Dealer downloaded software into REM and CEM on 2/23/07 but did not fix.  Check and replaced all bulbs to ensure genuine volvo and correct voltage.  This week climate control module died.  SRS-Airbag Service Urgent warning two days after climate control module problem.  Please help!!!!!!

Answer
Randy, remember that there are 2 bulbs for each side of the position bulb.  It can get confusing.  Remove the rear bulb holder while the car it on, proabably best to replace all 4 bulbs.  The mirror thing can be a switch issue or you got one with a different feature than your car.  Brake light issue may be a faulty switch on the junction block.  Climate module is one of those things that dies when it wants too.  I would complain of all these items to the volvo hotline and the service rep may be able to get involved.  If not, then its time to move onto another vehicle.  It will only get worse.  Roger
