The “On/Off” button my Volvo SC-815 radio broke - What to do. 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Sat Mar 20 13:24 CST 2021 [RELATED]

Hello All,

I have a 1996 850 GLT Wagon that came with a SC-815 radio (am/fm, cassette/cd). I can no longer turn it on suddenly. I checked the fuse (7) and it was good. I pulled the radio out of the dashboard and all the wires to power it were properly plugged in.

It was then I noticed the natural “tension” on the button that you experience when you push the button to turn on the radio and turn it off was gone. The button was “loose” in its socket. This was confirmed when I tried the button on the SC-815 radio in my other 1996 850 GLT wagon. Assuming I am correct in my diagnosis:

1) Can this “On/Off” button be fixed?

2) Can this button be replaced? If yes, where do I get a replacement and how do I replace it?

3) Will I be forced to purchase a replacement radio?

Thanks to all who respond.

Hugh
