Replying to: yusigusi (Nov 20, 2008 9:55 am) I have the same prob. with the hazards, but with me its also the blinkers. The hazard fuse (I think its 13) was blown, but the new one blew again right away, so my mechanic told me to check the headlight and taillight wires for shorts, which I plan to do this weekend. My radio also was working intermittently but now failed altogether. Though the power goes on and all functions work, you can't hear any sound. These cars are awesome but as they age they need a lot of TLC

#464 of 491 Re: '96 Volvo 850 Turbo - White Sludge in Dipstick [volvofamily] by jr714 Dec 03, 2008 (1:07 am)
Replying to: volvofamily (Aug 16, 2008 2:16 pm) Volvofamily,   Sad to say my problem with the sludge has returned. Still, no signs of damage to the engine - no clicking from the engine or white smoke, no leaks, no loss of coolant or heat, but the whole dipstick tube is full of the sludge. When you said you replaced the dipstick, did you mean just the actual stick, or the dipstick tube as well?   Thanks for the help. Replies to this message: volvofamily (Feb 23, 2009 5:03 pm)

Replying to: yusigusi (Dec 03, 2008 8:22 am) I have the same problem. I was told the hazard switch has a relay for the turn signals. I just got a new switch off ebay and I will be putting it in any day. I will post the results.
#467 of 491 heat help with my 850 by tsimmons Dec 13, 2008 (8:19 pm)
I just bought a 95' 850 wagon and the heat doesn't work, I replaced the thermostat and still nothing. I have read every post on here from #1 and I have seen all of the problems that I may encounter, this one wasn't mentioned once. I thought perhaps the heater core, but the hoses are not even getting warm. So perhaps a clogged heater hose? Does anybody have any ideas?
#468 of 491 Gas tank door by hairby Feb 04, 2009 (2:02 pm)
1995 Volvo 850T wagon. The door to the gas tank will not open. does it have a manual lever somewhere? Replies to this message: silverwing1 (Feb 12, 2009 9:16 am)

Replying to: hairby (Feb 04, 2009 2:02 pm) When your car is locked either from the inside or outside alarmed, so is the gas access lid. Try with everything open.

Thank You, I found the manual release,(a pull wire) which is located behind the inside corner panel on the same side as the gas tank in the wagon part of the car. There is a little knob on the bottom of the corner panel, turn it the panel comes right out. Faulty celluloid ?
