Hello.

sorry in advance for all the noobish questions I have been asking .. but as I can't seem to find any auto place by me that doesn't SUCK

(one shop wanted $1200 to replace AMM and Intake hose...HAHAHAHA so I changed my self for under $200)

and the other shop that told me they would need to remove instrument cluster to reset sevice light for $70~ ..... pushed lever problem SOLVED.

so now on to the next little issue.

sometimes the "up arrow" light comes on and won't go off... sometimes go for months without issue other times light comes on frequently then goes off shortly after starting car

other times light comes on and Stays on for several miles.. finally turning itself off.

I have heard that there is a relay in the dash somewheres that can be the cause ?? or wiring fault on shifter (pulled cover could really tell what was going on didn't see any freyed / loose looking wires??? ... what do I look for???)

or some selinoid... thing on the tranny????

a couple questions???

how to i get to the Relay? / what do I look for at shifter ? and (i hope this isn't it..i'm scared) what about the selinoid thingy how do you test it/ find it / (god help me) replace it should it be the cause???

anyways I realize I may be "NOOBING UP" the joint so hopefully i'm not driving anyone knutz or anything =)

I greatly appriciate the help I have gotten so far and hope that maybe someday I will know more with the help of nice folks such as y'all to be more comfortable working on my volvo and maybe even be able to help some other "newbie" down the line.

anyway much love to the volvo peeps.... peace.
