Greetings from the great white north........I have a 99 S70, the back up lights only come on when I hold the shifter back by hand. Is there an adjustment for the switch somewhere?

 

[Tech]

Yes there is an adjustment for the PNP switch.Most of the time you need a special tool to help line it up.Or the car might not start or will start in park but not reverse.

My Volvo has a manual transmision would the same answer apply? Thanks!

Im not 100% positive let me see if I can find out anymore.

???

I haven't been able to find anything 100% yet.There should be a switch or a sensor on the trans that tells when the car is in reverse.

Thanks, I will take a look at the trans tomorow, for I need to switch from winter to summer tires.

 

[Tech]

Let me know what you find.

 

[Mak]

I found the switch, it is on top of the tranny not easily seen, very inexpensive part. The dealer quoted me that it would take .7 of an hour. Cant be too difficult. Mak

No it shouldn't be.Might take you about 1/2 an hour.
