    How to Attach S90 Fuel Door

    Do you mean the "pins" like one by my thumb? The "pin" at the other end broke off and I didn't think it was a big deal. I can look for it.

    1997 Volvo S90 The fuel door fell off so I bought a new bracket. I assumed it would just snap into place, but it does not. Do I need another part?

    S90 Trim and Fuel Door Clips

    1997 Volvo S90 Brake Lights on All the Time

    There's no way I would have found the other switch if it hadn't been mentioned here. I'll check the cruise control switch, but am happy for now that the brake lights are not on all the time. Thanks!

    1997 Volvo S90 Brake Lights on All the Time

    Got it. The switch I adjusted is the only switch I can see, but I kept feeling and felt another switch above the switch I was working with. I adjusted the switch I can see (I guess this is the cruise control switch) so it is not fully depressed against the brake pedal. Now the brake lights...

    1997 Volvo S90 Brake Lights on All the Time

    Thanks, I will take another look. The switch I have been looking at has one electrical connector with two wires and a vacuum port. I also came across a blue "lamp control" box in the trunk on the drivers side. I removed this box and the brake lights turned off. Is there a way to check this...

    1997 Volvo S90 Brake Lights on All the Time

    OEM vs. Aftermarket Ignition Module

    Evaporator Core

    1985 Volvo 240 I am replacing the original AC in my '85 240 with the AC system for a '93 240. I have not been able to find a source for an OEM evaporator core. Does anyone know of a source for this part? Are the aftermarket evaporator cores worth considering?

    The car is a 1997 Volvo S90 I am in need of new ignition modules for my car. Is it worth the cost to get OEM ignition modules, or are the aftermarket ignition modules a reasonable alternative?

    1985 Volvo 240 The rear tail lights and dash lights on my car are not working. A number of years ago I modified the tail lights so the circuit board is bypassed (power goes directly to each bulb). My tail lights worked great until now. None of my lights work (turn signals, brake lights...

    S/V/C Axle / Drive Shaft Boots

    1997 Volvo S90 The boots for the rear axles are torn. I have a service manual (shown below) that refers to these as drive shafts (see part number 7). My service manual only states that the axles/drive shafts are held in place with snap rings. Given the description and parts diagram, I...
