Where do i find the reverse light switch fo a 1996 volvo 850 turbo.

Need to check the dash light dimmer switch first. You need to remove and access the switch and check for power to and thru the switch. It controls all the panel lights for the dash.

This code usually refers to the overdrive system. May not engage 4th gear. Have transmission checked by a specialist.

there is a head lamp switch mounted to the steering column. it has died. to access it you have to remove the cover under the dash. remove the four bolts hold the steering column and let it drop down. find the switch usually behind and to the side of the ignition switch. there will be a rod giong to it from the handle. remove and replace the switch and assemble in reverse order

thermistats on em are easy to change and cheap to give that a shot

Not really buddy your car will run rich and eat gas also you will be down for power.Just source a second hand unit.

this problem is caused by the turbo boost control valve called the CBV valve

850 R models have the engine code 58 in the VIN, in position 6 and 7. For example YV1LS58xxxxxxxxxx

Hi, I have a 1996 Volvo wagon 850 turbo. I just bought it and when you hold the rpm's at 3 and a half it was blowing out smoke after about 600 miles it stoped smelling like burning oil and doesn't blow out any smoke. But I use a court of oil in about every 150 miles. What could this be?
Thank's Jodie
