Hello All,

I recently purchased a 2002 S60 T5 with a manual transmission and with 130,000 miles on the odometer. Some questions:

1) With regard to the rear fog light. On p. 40 of the manual, it says that when you turn on the rear fog light, a single bulb located on the driver’s side lights up. When I turn on the fog light, not only the bulb on the driver’s side lights up, but the corresponding bulb on the passenger side also lights up. So I have two “Fog Lights” operating on each side. Was this a mid-year modification to the car? A wiring mix up? Or the installation of a wrong type of bulb on the passenger side? Thanks to all who can solve this mystery.

2) This car came equipped as standard equipment, with 2 front fog lights that are located on the lower portion of the front bumper. I noticed the lenses in each fog light are perfectly “frosted over”. Similar to the effect to glass that gets repeatedly washed up in the sand by the beach. My question is: is this the way these lenses came from the factory, or is this just a cast of the lenses getting scratched up over 13 years and 130,000 miles of use? I looked at the picture of this model that appears on the front cover of the owner’s manual and the lenses appear to be clear. I thought that maybe because these are “fog lights” the lenses were purposely “frosted over”. I’m not sure, so I would welcome any one’s insight to this question.

3) I noticed the “ringing chime” sound that you hear when the key is left in the ignition and the door is open, sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It sounds like a tape recording that is slowly dying sometimes just before it quits. Is this something that can be fixed, or should I just learn to live with it?

Thank you to all who respond and let me wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
