Volvo940 headlight switch illumination - volvoman
Just a long shot but the 'backlight' illumination on the main headlamp selector dial on my 1991 940 se turbo has failed. I'd like to try fixing it myself (if it doesn't mean dis-assembling the entire car !!) so anyone got any ideas how to do it ?

Can't see an obvious way of removing the dial and the coverplate behind it to get at the internal 'gubbins' (another technical term).

As always, any help most gratefully received.

if its the same as my 87 740 turbo heres what you do.....
Prise out the right hand side of the whole switch panel with a screwdriver(there is a spring clip behind and a lug at the other end .you'll then see a p bulb holder..5 mins tops!

ps good volvo gen site is www.swedishbricks.net/home.html links to a superb 740/940 maintenance archive and lots of links (mostly us based tho)
have fun
