Volvo: Volvo 850T5 (1997) SRS light/ignition question, volvo 850t5, mile intervals


Question
Good Morning,
I have a question for you. I left my lights on overnight and when I turned on the car the next day, the ignition was slow to start and the driver's side window was slow to move as well. I noticed the SRS light came on for a few seconds, but then went off. I thought the car would be ok once the battery was charge, but now, a few days later, the car is still acting the same. I should also mention that the service light has come on for the last month as well, but only for 20 seconds or so and then turns off. Please help!

Answer
Emily,
The charging system should be tested along with the battery. The service light indicates service time has come and needs attention. The service light comes on at 5000 mile intervals from reset time. Get to a Volvo shop and have some tests done.
