I have posted this already, but not yet resolved.
I have just bought a V40 2.0T automatic estate - 1999. I was surprised to find that the gear selector did not illuminate in the dark so found gear selection tricky in the dark. Should it illuminate? If so, the bulb has blown - how do I get to it to replace it? Andy Northampton, UK. |

if you have the haynes manual, it will describe how to remove your center console so that you can access the bubs. usually the screws will be in the center console and along the back where the rear ashtray resides. best to try a search in the s40 forum and see if anything pops up, i think i've read an older thread similar to yours. good luck and keep us posted.

Fantastic! I've manged to find the bulb by removing the console as you suggested and yes, there is a similar thread on the forum pages. Have ordered a new bulb from Volvo and hopefully all will be sorted tomorrow.
Thanks for your great advice. Andy :460: :clap: |
