By the sound of it, it's the power for the remote mirror to change dim when a car from behind aproaches with lights on. Check with the dealer to be certain.

I would unhook the battery to stop the drain until an electrical shop can look at it.

I solved this on my 95 volvo 850 glt as follows:

pull the seatbelt pilar cover off from the door jamb. this runs vertically up the pilar between the front an back door (beside the front seats. Once opened loosen the belt by gently pulling the belt upward toward the roof. You'll have to do this sometimes in small increments. Once the seatbelt is pulled out all the way, spray small amount of lubricant into the joint where at the top of the belt spool. Also use a screw driver to push spool upward while pulling the belt. At first it's only going to release a little but eventually the lubricant will work its way into the seam at the top of the belt spool and loosen up the stuck inertia catch. Until it completely loosens you might have to remove the pilar cover again and work the seatbelt out (also use the screw driver technique described above) in order to use the seatbelt. When parking, I would relatch the seatbelt and pull the slack up around the back of the head rest. After a day or so it worked normally.

good luck and don't give up.

It's under the dashboard. First you must dismount the accelerator pedal (!), remove some dashboard plastic on driver side. The filter is somewhere behind the central console.
I think it should be changed every two years. Look into the manual.
The company where you take the car for oil & filter change every year must change also this filter with no additional charges. Of course they charge you for the filter, which is not very exponsive.

Change the muffler.

hello u'd need a proper manual for this in my opinion like there are plenty of dealers and online shops that deal in those.. you can get some free at reliable-stor e and it;s actually really illustrative

I suggest you get one of those manuals people get nowadays to do it yourself.. My brother use it to repair my car and it's totally repaired now. Here's the website he got it from. www.reliable-store.com

You will have to remove the ignition barrel and look to replacing lock and barrell. I would stongly suggest using a specialist or main dealer as this is a complicated job.
