Replace the mechanics. It is very easy if you take a look at some guide in a volvo forum.

This sounds to me like you may have a bad master switch. Everything with the windows goes back to the master switch before it will work.

Volvo Code Retrieval Accessing Trouble Codes 89-93 models (and later non-turbo/non-OBDII models)

Fuel Codes Locate the diagnostic unit behind left strut tower and remove its cover.(see image) Connect selector cable to socket #2,which tests the fuel codes. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position(engine not running). Enter the diagnostic mode by pressing the push button on the diagnostic unit for at least 1 second, but not more than 3 seconds. The red LED light will start to flash,count the number of flashes in 3 flash intervals. The flashes will be seperated by 3 second intervals.Make note of all codes. If no codes are stored,the LED will flash 1-1-1,which means the fuel system is operating correctly.


�
Ignition Codes To access the ignition codes,follow the above procedure,but with the selector cable connected to the #6 socket on the diagnostic unit.
NOTE:Turbocharged models may have seperate codes for the turbo system and are accessse by hooking the selector cable to the #5 socket.

Rate this.

There should be a guide in the manual, or a diagram in the fuse box lid to point out witch fuse goes where.
Lighters use a fair bit of power, so i would look for a 20A fuse or higher.

Most likely the transmission range switch is failing.
Have someone check the transmission computer for codes.

Here's how to set the clock on a 2004 Volvo V40. Rotate the odometer stem to the right or to the left and hold it without pushing it in. The clock will start to move slowly then speed up. This seems to have been left out of the owners manual. Hope it helps.

what year is this car 97 cant be correct,what state requires brake pressure test?/get a second test done some where else unless this car pulls or you have noticed a problem/or replace the left rear caliper if you beleave the test are correct
