My 850 has taken to doing something new. I will be driving along and all the speedometer functions will quit working. I get to my destination and, upon restart, all is well. Part way through the drive the speedo quits working. Any idea where to look? |
Ground contact/wire to instrument cluster was faulty...
Srry, i don't know further details.
Good luck.

Guess we're on to the sender unit. Volvo is very proud of this unit
(surprise, surprise said Gomer).
We'll see.

I'll ask my friend what was the exact problem and maybe it will help you.
