A few things...
the 940 is not FWD, it is RWD
the service light is a mileage reminder. It can be reset by removing the small black rubber plug near the speedo, and firmly depressing the button (the ignition key fits the hole perfectly).

You need to determine whether your no-start is because of low battery voltage (poor charging or tired battery), or an electrical problem in the solenoid powering circuit. I am >assuming< that you are saying that the starter does not engage when you turn the key.

Do the gauge complaint and the dimming lights happen together? or are they not related? I ask because the signal to keep the alternator in 'charge' mode goes through the BAT light on the dash.
