Did you spill water in that little Economy/Sport switch? It pops out relatively easily so maybe get a replacement switch from the junk yard and replace it and try again?

Or do you have something hanging/dangling that would hit the button inadvertently?

SOURCE: My Volvo 960 stalls while driving

It could be a number of things. Fuel Flow problem, or electrical apparatus heats up and works inefficiently. You could start from the cheaper, less strainous solutions, in this order: Change Fuel Filter, and clean Nozzles. Fuel Pump, Air Mass Meter.

Where roy might have a possible source, it is most likely the park neutral switch which has started to fail. This is indicated by the shift arrow flashing on the dash. Replacement of this component is relatively difficult without a lift

SOURCE: my volvo 960 is leaking coolant under the car what

You'll need to get under the vehicle and see where the coolant is originating.

Could be loose/damaged/cracked hose; hole in radiator; overflow reservoir overflowing, freeze plug leaking, etc...

The fix could be simple, such as a new hose or; not-so-simple, such as remove radiator and repair/raplace.

SOURCE: I have a 1992 volvo 960 and the transmission needs to be fixed

The tranmission is shared with the Toyota Cressida 82-87 model (that's the A43DE in Toyota speak if yours is a AW30-43) Yours is either a AW30-43 or AW30-40. Go to Wikipedia to get the equvalent of yours. Try Aisin Warner on Wikipedia. No need to pay top dollar at Volvo wreckers when a Toyota one will fit (just swap the bell housing and switches/controls) Remember the labour to swap is only three hours just make sure you totally flush the old fluid out (7.5 litres) & new front & rear seals go on the replacement gearbox and that the extension housing bushing is OK. Good luck.

My '95 volvo 960 got hot, and battery died. Tried to jump start in and it would crank but not start.

Dead Battery

Always try & charge,it is unsafe to jump
a dead battery, as it may have shorted cells

If the engine rotates,turns over,cranks,it is the same thing

To say it won't crank or won't turn over is wrong
That is a no start

1---Engine does turn over,rotates,or cranks

2----Engine is a no start or won't start or won't fire, no iginition

My volvo 960 1997 wagon at times won't start. when I try to start it, it's like the battery is completely dead, but the battery is fine. what is making it do this ?

Depends on your definition of completely dead.
Do the lights work, but no crank ?
Can you jump start the car ?
A mechanic would check for voltage at the battery, the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch, along with the ground connections to the engine.

A Ticking

It could be the voltage regulator trying to charge a dead battery. (It could burn out if you keep doing this)

Or it could be a lifter noise, rust on the belt pulley from sitting in one position for two years.
Buy a good battery, change the oil and put some fresh gas and fuel stabilizer. It might be nothing serious!

VOLVO 960 1996 AUTO BOX POSS PROBLEM PNP I THINK. FAMOUS ORANGE FLASHING LITE PROBLEM ON THE DASH AND THE ECONOMY /WINTER /SPORT, LITES FLASHING ALL THE TIME. CAR DIVES, BUT SEEMS LIE A CLUTCH!!!!...

Hi Eric,
I don't know what happened but the session was ended?? But here is my email: [email protected] if you wish to email me.
The test you did is not really testing the computer, I think it test only the lever position locking?? But actually Volvo diagnosis socket cannot be jumped to read codes as on most other car you can. The only advice is to get in contact with Volvo dealer and try to ecplain to the service manager there what the problem is and see if they have a temporary solution(which I doubt) but if you don't ask you will not know.
