My 1996 volvo 850 is

sometimes there is a card in the jacket with the owner's manual with the code on it. It would be credit card sized if it were there. Otherwise you will need to make a call to your local dealer, and hope they don't need more than the VIN number to get the codes. Many times they need the serial number from the stereo but they will have to call the tech support to get an unlock code. If they do get it unlocked, be sure to write down the code and keep it in a safe place, like with the owner's manual.

Fan blower motor only works

That's what it sounds like to me.

If the blower is making noise than the only thing you can do is replace it.

Blower resistors typically operate by dropping voltage through a set of resistors. The lower the speed the more resistance is needed. High speed requires no resistance and usually bypasses the resistor assembly. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Speedometer sudenly stoppped working

P0171 indicates a lean condition. The most common cause of this is a defective mass air flow sensor. Also check if any vacuum leaks.Replace MAf sensor,if cleaning the MAF does not help.
OBD II P0172 Fuel System Too Rich (Bank 1).P0172 - System Too Rich (Bank 1) Essentially this DTC means that an oxygen sensor in bank 1 detected a rich condition.
When the code says that the Fuel System is "too rich," it means that the computer has been subtracting more and more fuel, which is called Long Term Fuel Trim. Ideally, the Long Term Fuel Trim should be close to 1 to 2 percent. When a code P0172 is set, it means that the Fuel Trim is anywhere from -15 percent to as low as -30 percent compensated. When this happens, the computer knows that there is an improper condition in the control of the Fuel System.


Thanks.

Have a 1994 Volvo 960...sputtered & died with

well fuel and spark is all that makes them run,So make sure your getting spark first! if you have spark to plugs then it will be fuel related... 9 times out of 10 if your not getting fuel it will be the fuel pump( in gas tank ) and 9 times out of 10 if you don't have spark its the coil or coil pack( under hood.) but it can be other fuel/spark components bad also...if you can do the work yourself, have a dealer tell you what parts bad(will cost about $100.00 to run a diagnostics on it.) then go to auto-zone,napa,ect. and buy the part and replace.....if you can not do the work yourself then you will have to let dealer or mechanic shop do the work. make sure once you know what parts bad to get a price from 3-different places to get best price......good luck...

My Volvo 850 won't run on idle, it keeps coughing

sounds like a locked up torque converter
will the engine run at idle with the car in part
if not... could be the IAC

However, without diagnoses we are just guessing and you are throwing parts... easy... but not cheap

do you have any diagnostic tools like a DVOM and/or scan tool?

96 Volvo 850 Turbo. Both headlights went out but

Hi, the problem you are having is with the switch itself, this is a common problem so the switch is not expensive to buy.

once you replace the switch the lights will work as normal.

if it was just one light not working then you could say bulb if the high beam wasnt working then you could say it was fuse or relay but as you have high beam this would rule out them being the fault.

now the only other problem it could be is a wire so give the wires a bit of a wiggle at the back of the head lights then give them a try if they then work you may need to do some soldering to fix a loose wire but if they still dont work then this would suggest the switch itself is at fault.

let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

Radio reset code for volvo

Go to the dealership. They will require the vin number. But all radios are different to prevent theft. That is the only way I have found to get the codes. You will need to have your vin number for them.
