Folks,
I had a weird one the other day with my 98 v70 glt.
I accidentally pressed the shift lock overide button on the Gear Selector.
(My other Volvo, a 940, requires this as I have not fixed it)
Selector went into gear.
When I returned the selector to park the switch would no longer go to the off position to allow the key to be removed. After carrying a second key to lock the door for a day I got inquisitive. The Shift lock did not appear to be all the way back up. I grabbed the button with a pair of pliers and was able to fully extend the button. I was not looking forward to tearing into the plastic console in freezing temperatures.
As the button has probably never been depressed in 11 years it probably has gummy lube or something similar.
Something to keep in the memory banks for future reference.

Happy Holidays,
John
