Yes, it's the 'pnp' switch (also known as the inhibitor switch) which is on the side of the transmission.

I own 2 Volvo 960s (3 litre automatics) which are similar in many respects ... and have that flashing arrow. It's a well known fault and you don't have much to worry about.

Rather than write it all here, you can read what I wrote as an ebay guide about it at http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-960-Automatic_W0QQugidZ10000000003233806

I did put similar info on my website at http://www.glennsmart.btinternet.co.uk/volvo960.html with photos

Though the ebay guide is better ...

If you haven't got time to read it ... forget the flashing arrow and put a bit of black tape over it ... My wife's car has (192,000 miles) had that arrow flashing for 3 years. My car (100,000 miles) has had that flashing arrow since I bought it 1 year ago.

I did change the pnp on both cars ... but you also need to have the computer error reset by Volvo to have the light extinguished. Don't worry ... keep driving.

yes. the light indicates a fault in the abs system (it will store a code which can be retrieved with a code reader), and the abs system will be disabled until repaired. your brakes will function normally, but you will have no abs feature.

The tracs off light comes on automatically whenever the ABS light goes off. Each of 4 wheels has an ABS sensor. The ABS light usually comes when any one of these sensors go bad. It could also be the ABS computer but the computers usually last the lifetime of the car on Volvos. Then, of course it could be some wire spliced somewhere in the ABS circuit and that would be something very difficult to find where the short is. But try the sensors, they are usually the culprit.

What is the make and model of the radio

I found it necessary to try two of the the fixes listed before I solved the problem. Here's what I learned, as it relates to my 2000 V70:

1. The lock button on the shifter WAS stuck in the depressed mode. So I squirted a bit of WD-40 and--presto! It was released. But my problem wasn't solved. On examining the button action a little more, I noticed it it wasn't FULLY freed. So, another squirt of WD-40 and a few more press/releases, and---PERFECT. BUT the problem was not solved.

2. I next tried to "lift" the "shift override" button using pliers with gentle-to-moderate pressure so as not to break the plastic. It did lift a little, but still no solution. So I squirted a bit of WD-40 into the space around the button and pushed the button several times to "work-in" the WD-40. No luck. In fact, the button seemed stuck in a depressed mode even more.

3. Finally, to the SOLUTION! Since I could no longer get a grip on the button, I introduced 2 thin-bladed knives to barely exposed opposing side surfaces and pried the switch-button up. Still, no luck, but going back to the pliers and gentle/moderate pressure, I was able to pull the button up, and----SUCCESS!!!!

Notes: I am surprised at how much travel there was in the button--a good 3/16" it seems.

I don't know what caused the button to seize in the depressed state. I never use it and I don't think that I've ever spilled anything on/in it. But its horizontal position just begs for this kind of problem.

Unfortunately there is not an easy answer for this. Volvo remotes are difficult to program and most mechanics and / or locksmiths won't touch them. My company does sell these remotes, but like I said above, it is difficult to find anyone to program them. If you take it to the dealer, they will want you to purchase the keyless entry remote from them, and of course charge you a huge fee! If you can find a locksmith or mechanic in your area to program a keyless entry remote for your Volvo I would suggest purchasing the remote online and save some cash. https://www.keylessentryremotefob.com/Volvo-Key-Fob-Remote-Replacements-s/1855.htm

I believe you just shift it to "D" and then straddle the shifter and pull it straight up with all your might. It's a bear, but doable.

possible corrupted CPU program use a scan tool to reset the system

No idea sorry ,this is beyond me as iam a old dinasaur who remembers cars made of metal with a starting handle ,only thing i can suggest offhand is to disconnect battery and join the leads together ? may work but most likely will not work but its worth a shot.Failing which ask local volvo garage to reset it for you

check for a failed camshaft timing belt or chain especially if the mileage exceeds 60,000miles and the items have not been changed

it will not fix the fault because the cluster is not the problem it is a busbar/communicator bar for the body that is faulty run the fault codes to get the faulty and fix that

This is possibly a fuel pressure fault or air in the system. Get it plugged in to read pressures first.

Pre-made, pre- cut, replacement carpet will not be found new. But you could try a junkyard.
Most auto parts stores (and even Wal-Mart) carry rolls of replacement auto carpet.

The 1st things you need to do is have the engine control module scanned for fault codes and the fuel pressure tested for proper specs.
