Could anybody help me with the following.
My SRS light turns on even after replacing seat belt and seat belt tensioner and resetting the light already many times. After each reset it remains of for a couple of days and then all of a sudden during driving it turns on again. It keeps showing error code 232. The Volvo dealer has no idea how to fix so does anybody of you have a clue.
Regards,

One of the most common SRS issues is with the airbag's SRS Contact Reel in the steering wheel. There is a thin mylar connector in there that winds and unwinds as you turn the wheel. Eventually it wears out and breaks the connection. This isn't very difficult to visually inspect and the repair isn't difficult either. Call fcpgroton.com for pricing. Like another poster said, make sure you disconnect the battery (and have radio code) before attempting the repair and don't test the airbag with an ohm meter or really mess with it in anyway. If you need instructions on how to get it in and out and how to "reset" the new contact reel, so that it's wound correctly, etc., post back here. Otherwise, leave this repair to someone who has done one. After the repair, reset the SRS light and hopefully this has solved your problems. I can't believe that the dealer is stumped on this one. It's a fairly common repair on 850's and 70 series (older) cars. Even my indy mechanic knew all about it and replaced this part on our 850 when the SRS light wouldn't go out.

I had a similar problem with my 99 S70 in 2002. The dealer would reset the light and it would come back on before I got home. He ended up replacing the passenger side air bag. Sd some was defective in the wiring at the bag. Fortunately for me, it was still in warranty.

Good luck-these types of problems can be tough!

Was any work done previously under the instrument panel or center console that might have disturbed the air bag wiring (for instance replacing a/c evaporator, heater fan, instrument lights, etc)? If an intermittent or open circuit occurs anywhere in the wiring this will trigger the light. Do not work on the airbag wiring without following Volvo precautions - have battery disconnected, don't test wiring with an ohmmeter or any other power source, don't disturb any airbag sensor or its wiring connectors, and don't position yourself in front of one of the bags.

The only thing that has been done is the replacement of the stereo. Nevertheless that is over 1 year ago and these problems started a couple of months ago.
