A few days ago, whilst driving my S60, everything on the dash went out, speedometer, fuel gauge, clock everything. Later in the day, I started the car, and the dash lights up, everything functioning okay again, but I also got a message "SRS airbag service urgent", first time I'd seen this. After driving a few minutes, the dash goes out again. Later whilst still driving, the dash came back on briefly. Anybody any ideas what could be causing this? The fact that the dash comes on and goes off regularly suggests it's not a fuse, could it be the battery (I've had the car 7 years without a change of battery) or loose connection?
I'm more concerned with the dead dash than the SRS message, I guess that the SRS message though claiming Urgent isn't crucial, unless I get in an accident. |

Common fault due to dry solder joints on the chip on the driver information module - the SRS warning is likely to be erroneous.
There's a bloke on here Spotzulik (or similar) fixes them quickly, although you're on the other side of the pond as it where. In fact, see here http://volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=143579 Last edited by reggit; Nov 23rd, 2012 at 20:42. Reason: added link |

I see you come from Preston. Before emigrating to Canada, Preston was my home. Haven't been back in 20 years, so I guess it's changed a fair bit. Still miss the pubs though. |

A lot of it, especially up Adelphi end is all student accomodation these days.
But most of the rest of it hasn't changed all that much, The pubs off Church st haven't changed much either, although the D&P's been brightened up for the students and doesn't have rows of bikes outside anymore ![]() As to your DIM, you really want to be looking for a good TV or electronics repair shop who can re-flow the solder on the PCB rather than a mechanic. |

The 10 year check of the air bags is no longer in the Volvo service check, there are posts on here about it.
If you have the right code readers you can reset the SRS light, but they need to be ones designed to work on Volvos. If the SRS light is on then the air bags won't work in a crash! |

Hi, Pulled up to park this week and the dash went dead. Took up to my mechanic and while he was fiddling with fuse above foot pedals (No. 11 I Think) the dash came back to life but shortly afterwards went blank again. Changed fuse from 7.5 to recommended 10 and it seemed to have solved problem. However since the warning message 'SRS-Airbag Service Urgent' has appeared and despite several days of running has not gone away. Can anyone help me. As we only touched the fuse, although it is acknowledged it also covers some or all of the SRS, it should not be a fault with the airbag system!
