240 warning lights don't light 200

posted by  someone claiming to be 4volvos on  Fri Nov 12 07:41 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I would try a voltage regulator first.It is replaceable separate from the alternator.Did the lights work before you changed the ignition switch? If they did perhaps you got the wrong switch.The way it works is that there is a path to ground thru the regulator when the key is in position 2.Once the engine starts and the alternator starts charging that ground path becomes alternator voltage and the lights go out because there is positive voltage on both sides of the bulb.The oil pressure and emergency brake warning lights are controlled by different grounds.
