Hi Susan,

It really sounds like the temp board is glitching out. The bypass is what you should do before anything else because that will rule out the other things.

Speaking from experience a lot of independent Volvo mechanics or any typical mechanics for that matter are good at changing out brakes, motor mounts, but when it comes to dainty little electronics they are clueless. Believe me I know, I'll spare the stories.

The guys on here helped me out with the exact same thing on my 92 245 when I was on vacation a couple years back and didn't know if the car was overheating. The gauge would go into the red, not rise at all, stay at normal, etc. etc. etc. Anyways smack the dash and that will tell you-temp. comp. board.

If I were you I wouldn't be afraid to drive it after you give it a smack and it responds. But you need to get this taken care of.

I am in located in Shippensburg, PA. I am handy around the Weller WES51 soldering station and have taken out the cluster on my 90 244 and 92 245 many times. The offer is there if you want it fixed for free-not $100. My wife, dog Sirius and rabbit Albee can keep you company in the 1/2 hour total it will take to get everything out, bypassed and back in.

Either way I hope you get things taken care of,
Travis
