Thank you very much for this thread!
I'm driving my 1991 244.. I am a multi Volvo 240 car owner.
I was at O'Reilly's getting the correct break light bulbs.
I got the passenger side brake light to work but I was unable to get the driver side brake light work. so I kind of gave up for the evening as it was dark getting late and very cold. I went to leave and she was stuck in parking
Thanks to this thread, I counted down to the 7th fuse, and number 7 was blown. Changed it, got out of park and off I went.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for everybody who still loves volvo 240's. It's all I driven for the past 24 years
later in the evening I heard back from my Volvo Guru mechanic and he told me about the LED light bulbs for the Volvo and how if it gets too hot back there it's shorts things out. And the light bulbs that I read placed we're all blue inside which indicated they had gotten too hot.
this is what he suggested
ledlight.com for the LEDs.
He said " you can replace them all, but you need these little balancer things to put in line with the signals or they flash very fast. "
