Hey all long time lurker, now I've got my very own 240 and I'm in love with it.
I've been doing some work on it and I've noticed this curious piece that has a tube that leads to a button that can only be pressed with a pen tip on the cluster. This tube looks like it actuates a switch. However, once it's done it doesn't return the switch back to its prior position. I've been curious about it, especially since my odo has stopped working and I'm working on fixing it.
I've been searching for more about this, and can't seem to find it in any of the Volvo literature or anything about it online. Been curious so I figured i'd ask the gurus. This is towerymt's image from the Odo gear repair thread:
That silver tube coming from the left bottom corner goes to said pen button visible from the front of the gauges on the bottom right.
My switch just stays in the up position, I also have the square Trip Odo button on the dash (which coincidentally doesn't work either).
I'm going to take this whole thing apart and fix it, but just wondering what this thing does.
Thanks in advance!
