- OH-MI....just like it sounds
92 sedan - everything working perfectly. No accidents or leaks. Grounds all tight and clean. Then all of a sudden headlamps go off, no dash or interior lights, no radio.
Whats more - the door chime comes on when the glove box is open (no light either). Hazards dont work but the turn signals do.....and the chime comes on then too.
I have read similar issues on various sites with most 'solved' but never a final post as to what they did or what caused it. IIRC fuse 5 was usually involved. Am wondering if its another 'too much on one circuit'. Headlamps could be relay / wired direct to relieve it if so.
I have had headlight relays (small one in dash) fail or someone use the wrong one and the dash lights and headlamps are all out of sync (this one is the correct one). Has to be something like a relay or fuse to do this all of a sudden and for no other existential reason. Volvo is infamous for overloading circuits that eventually show themselves.
UPDATE: Issue has been solved. Turned out to be a blown Fuse 10 from a defective chime module. Go figure.
