Shifter problem and lighting issue... 850 1993

Hello all...

Couple of problems - can't get my 850 out of park without first depressing the "shift lock override" button. Also, sometimes my gear indicator lights work, and sometimes they don't...any ideas? Oh, one more thing - on the dash - is the temp and time LCD supposed to illuminate, because mine doesn't....?

Thanks in advance!

There's a micro switch under the shifter cover. You need to replace it. The lights problem is probably caused by key ignition unit, need to replace it.
Check out http://www.volvospeed.com and look under repairs/maintenance, also check out message board.

I had the shifter problem with my 240 and it turned out to be a bad fuse. Don't know about the 850....but you could check that first.
