DIM / Driver Information Module????? What happened? XC90

Well... I dropped my car off on Sunday. It was supposed to be fixed first thing...now it is 10:30AM and I haven't received a phone call yet. Part of me hopes it's not the problem, just because the part is so expensive. I have done further research regarding the SRS Airbag Service Urgent message and it seems to be a problem that happens more often with S60 and S80. It also appears that the warning is often displayed if procedures during installations are not performed in sequence. I have read a few posts that pretained to the Climate Control Module and something called the upper module causing the problem.

My gut feeling tells me that replacing the DIM is not going to solve the problem.

Because....
About 4 weeks ago my digitial clock started to have a mind of its own when I turned on the car ( it would just run through the numbers till it felt like stopping, not sure if it went backwards or forwards). Then I thought that the heating system was acting up, ie. it seemed to me that the climate control was doing its own thing... kinda lengthy & hard to explain. Then there is this little gremlin that loves my stereo. This is the second stereo in this car! It likes to listen to the radio at random times when I want to listen to a CD or it goes into auto search, illumination lights on keys work sometimes and not others and on occasion when I turn on the car my stero will not work at all(more often when I am driving for over a couple of hundred miles)!

My take on the whole thing reminds me of some problems I had with my old 740 T wagon. I get cold... so I run the heat on full almost all the time... go for long drives back and forth to New England, NC, Colorado, Texas... I just keep the sunroof open when I get too hot... my stereo used to freak out then too! I think that because I do this I might have heated some componants up say behind the cluster panel and the center console area... perhaps I "tweaked" something. My clock hasn't acted up since this warning light came on and neither has my climate system... stereo still behaves badely(althought these may just be coincidences)!

Thanks for asking! I will post an update when I get the word!

Best Regards,
Anastasia
