U mean the shifter does not go in to drive? If that is so then replace the brake light switch on the brake paddle. Shifter is powered through the brake light switch.

I though so too, isn't there an extra wire that wasn't connected to the cluster? On the passenger side of the cluster? It may not be on this late of a model.

SOURCE: hood latch won't release hood. 91 volvo 240.

Have had same problem on 1990 240 DL. Go underneath, tap ball at end of hood latch sideways with small hammer (take a good look at it --- you should be able to see which way it needs to go to clear). Once released clean and lubricate.

Why won't 1989 Volvo 240 shift into high gear anymore?

Either the O/D solenoid or relay has gone bad. However if the light operates you may have to much wear in the main housing in the rear of the transmission causing the pressure to be low in the case a transmission replacement is in order.

88 volvo 240 dl won't shift into 4th

This is common to the AW70 transmission when the rear bushing has been left very worn for a period of time. The rear shaft wear heavily on the main transmission housing causing the pressure not to build enough to engage the overdrive gear.

What is happening is the tranny is going. They can try to replace the selenoid, but really, you need a rebuild. Whomever charged you to remove the light, probably messed things up more. Volvo's typically lose overdrive before losing all the other gears. It is time for a rebuild. Go to a reputable tranny shop who knows volvos.
