Volvo Car Audio & Video - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

If you want to turn off your brake lights on a 1999 Volvo S80 2.9, the best approach would be to locate and remove the appropriate fuse from the fuse box. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

1. Locate the fuse box: The fuse box on a 1999 Volvo S80 2.9 is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side.
2. Identify the brake light fuse: Look for the fuse labeled "Brake lights" or "Stop lights." The fuse box cover should have a diagram that shows the location of each fuse.
3. Remove the brake light fuse: Use a pair of pliers or a fuse puller tool to carefully pull out the brake light fuse.
4. Verify that the brake lights are off: With the fuse removed, check to make sure that the brake lights are no longer illuminated when you press the brake pedal.

It's important to note that turning off your brake lights while driving is ******* and dangerous, as other drivers won't be able to see when you're slowing down or stopping. Therefore, it's recommended that you only turn off your brake lights temporarily for diagnostic or repair purposes and then promptly restore them to normal operation.

If the Volvo dealer cannot supply your code then your only option now is to remove it from the dashboard and take it into a Decoding Service.(or your local Car Radio / Audio Store )

They will connect it up to a laptop and electronically read / recode the security memory chip (EEPROM)

Hi, i would chk your fluid, if its low it will cause that issue.

solder joints is not a problem in this country or all makes of cars would have a solder problem I would suggest that you have a very serious inspection done on the car before you buy it as one piece of rubbish may be said to hide something more serious AC systems mostly fail from loss of gas or failed compressors so have the problem properly diagnosed by an ac specialist shop first

Sounds as you need anothr Torque Converter after 100000 more miles .

When you disconnect your battery and then reconnect itagain, it disables the radio. This is an anti-theft protection for your carradio. The enable your radio the activation code is in your vehicle owner's manual. Ifyou do not have this code you need to go to your Volvo servicecentre and get them to enter this code for you.

I had a car radio do that once in a used car I bought cheap, it turned out to just be a loose connector on the back of the radio, I clicked it in and it worked fine.

The oil HAS to be a "3309" oil. Mobil 1 makes one, Volvo sells their really expensive version, and then there's the cheapest (but just as good) alternative of the Toyota Type IV oil, usually $6/quart at the Toyota dealer. Yes, you can't just drain all the oil as the automatic holds a lot in the torque converter and the lines are full too. I disconnected the top oil hose from the radiator to the transmission and connected a hose to it. Then I put the hose in a gallon jug and started the car. When the jug was half full (two quarts) I turned off the engine and filled up with two fresh quarts. I repeated this until the transmission pumped out oil of the same color that I poured in. This took about 12-13 quarts. Reconnect the line to the radiator and then the other tricky part is ensuring the oil level is correct. This is done with HOT oil. YOu have to make sure you have enough oil to show in the 'normal' field on the oil stick, then drive the car for 20 minutes to ensure it's good and hot, then park on level ground and shift through all the gears while staying in each gear for about 3 seconds. Put it in park and check the level. It takes very little to get from the bottom of the stick to the top, so be cautious when topping off if you're low. If you add oil, run through the gears for 3 seconds each again before checking. Ideally, you'd use VIDA (Volvo software) and DiCE (the ODBII interface) to reset the oil change counter in the transmission computer too, but most people don't do that and still have no issues. All this took me about 3 hours at home, but I'm slow. A mechanic is probably faster. :D

find the leak and repair it .then you must bleed the system .your abs pump has no fluid that is why it is showing abs light.

if no oil leaks due to thin oil .then it will be ok. turbo like to burn oil .so should check the oil every day before driving.if you start to get a lot of ticking noise from your tappets then use a thicker oil.

Hi, the code refers to Random/Multiple cylinder(s) - misfire detected.Possible causes:Spark Plug(s), HT Lead(s), Injector(s), Ignition Coil(s), Low compression, wiring.

need to know the engine size as there is a 2.4 litler, 2.4 liter turbo, a 2.5 liter turbo and a 2.3 liter turbo.

Below is a fuse/relay layout diagram for the panel under the hood of the vehicle. I have marked the relay for the fuel system. Hope this helps....

If it was me i would go to a car radio shop and purchase a new and cheaper radio including installation. It would be a lot cheaper than $850.

I would do a compression check. They are easy to do. The tool is about $50 at any part store. If you have a harbor freight near by it's only $30.
If that is something you're willing to try let me know and I can talk you through it.

Will have to be taken to a transmission shop to be diagnose,

Make sure you have a full charge on your battery. Make sure the battery post are clean, and the cables are tight, coat with an anti-corrosion spray. Check you solenoid switch.
