My wife's car - a 1995 850 GLT with 96,000 miles - has an intermittent problem. When she starts the engine the following all happen at once: the ABS lite goes "on", the gearshift is locked in PARK, the overhead seatbelts lites go "on" and the directionals/headlamps are inoperative. There may be more items like backup lights that too are inoperative, but I need to confirm that.

A quick fix is she either turns the car on/off and everything appears to clear itself OR she invokes the gearshift release, but the other malfunctions continue making the car unsafe - particularly at night

None of my local Volvo dealers have a clue what it is but are happy to log up some diagnostic time to figure it out and sell me a proprietary, overpriced part.

I would appreciate your input to get her back on the road safe and save my marriage!

Thanx,
Bob
