Diagnosis of 240 electrical problem 200 93

posted by  someone claiming to be Daryl on  Sat Dec 1 10:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'm considering the purchase of a clean 93 240 sedan (110,000 miles). I'm inclined to buy it, but am hesitant until I know more about what might be causing some electrical problems it has. It has an electrical problem or two that the Volvo dealer claims "all 240s have". One problem is that a light comes on periodically that indicates a burned out headlight, when in fact the headlight is fine. The other problem is that the engine overheating indicator light comes on when the engine is actually in normal temperature range. Again, an intermittent problem. My question is: Are these problems actually common with the 240s? And, what might be causing them? Evidently the dealer can't find the problem, claiming that the lights are never on when it is brought to them for service. Any ideas or advice regarding these problems????? Thanks in advance for any help some can be.
