Hi All: I have a 2003 V70 Turbo with AWD (not an XC)that has a completely DEAD instrument cluster. The problem started 18 months ago and has gotten progessively worse to where I now have nothing working on the dash; no speedometer, no gas gauge, no anything.

The symptoms started with the dashboard periodically, for a split instant, goes dead but the car keeps running normally. When it comes back on all the indicator lights turn on as if I was just going to start the car, but I’m still driving along. Periodically these “shutdowns” are also accompanied by a loud beep that seems to be coming from the left side of the dashboard.

Last year, when the problems first started I went to my local Volvo dealer and they were of no help, so I went on Just Answers.com and was told that the problem is likely one of the 4 primary solder points on the back of the instrument cluster was bad. My local mechanic re-soldered them but that seemed to do very little to solve the problem.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.
