Lightning Storm, Trip Computer/Speedo/Tach and Analog odometers Dead 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be murphini on  Sat Jun 28 11:29 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Had lighting storm that hit at/near our house. Our 1996 850 turbo in garage. Surge killed 2 phones in my house, my Network Card on my home PC, the infrared sensors for my garage door opener, and...quite possibly my trip computer and instrument guages on the volvo.

Car starts. All lights work, radio/cd works, sunroof works. BUT, no trip computer showing, and speedometer, tachometer, gas guage AND analog both trip and big ODOMETER have stopped working. Of course, there is no FUSE for that... any ideas if the burst killed something in the volvo?

Besides that, it still is the Alexis Carrington/Colby of cars. Looks great, a real b*%^ch to maintain. AC leaks. Transmission shifts sorta hard.... you all know the rest.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
