Also a few weeks ago I went to start the car and all my warning lights came on (check engine, brake failure, airbag, fuel) etc and windshield wipers were going., car wouldn't start and key was stuck. I unhooked battery and let it sit for a night, hooked it back up and car started with no problems until tonight.
Have the charging system checked,Battery voltage(car not running) should be 12 volts,or less if battery is not fully charged.With engine running voltage should be close to 14 volts. use a dc volt meter and connect to positive and negative battery post.
SOURCE: at various times all the warning lights go on/off
transmisson replacement is necessary.
thanks.

Could you take out a bulb and with a testlight/probe check that you do in fact have power to that circuit .Also check that they are the correct bulb for that application I have seen people put indicator bulbs in where therse supposed to be a double filament bulb.Does the base of the bulbs lead contacts line up with the two steel terminals inside the plug?

usually multiple clicking (like a machine gun) does indicate lw battery voltage. did you get 11.9 volts with it running or car off? with running you should be over 13.6 min up to 14.0 volts. these cars have a fair amount of electronics with some residual voltage draws which may shorten battery life. 4 yrs is not too bad. i would consider replacing battery
SOURCE: 1998 Volvo V70 with potential transmission problems?
Yes, it's the 'pnp' switch (also known as the inhibitor switch) which is on the side of the transmission.
I own 2 Volvo 960s (3 litre automatics) which are similar in many respects ... and have that flashing arrow. It's a well known fault and you don't have much to worry about.
Rather than write it all here, you can read what I wrote as an ebay guide about it at http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-960-Automatic_W0QQugidZ10000000003233806
I did put similar info on my website at http://www.glennsmart.btinternet.co.uk/volvo960.html with photos
Though the ebay guide is better ...
If you haven't got time to read it ... forget the flashing arrow and put a bit of black tape over it ... My wife's car has (192,000 miles) had that arrow flashing for 3 years. My car (100,000 miles) has had that flashing arrow since I bought it 1 year ago.
I did change the pnp on both cars ... but you also need to have the computer error reset by Volvo to have the light extinguished. Don't worry ... keep driving.

It sounds like the park switch in the top end of the wiper motor is stuck closed.
