Is there an easy way to reset the service light that comes on every 10,000
miles?

Thanks

By taking the car in for service ;-)

... I think there is a reset switch behind that rubber dust cover on the
instrument cluster, not sure if you have to take it out then press the
button, or if you press the button through the cover... Never had to press
it since our 960 is Volvo serviced each and every time, but this topic has
come up, and I am pretty sure this is how you do it.

My '87 760 requires the removal of the instrument cluster, then pushing the button right
behind the speedo.  How stupid, you have to remove the freakin' instrument cluster, I
mean, how difficult would it have been to run a momentary switch to a concealed location
on a Molex connector to a more accessible location.

It should be written in your manual, at least it was in mine.  It was an added sheet
actually, I guess people were asking how to reset the thing and added an extra sheet for
the user manual package, providing you have a manual!

You don't have to remove the IC. Remove the under dash panel and reach up
behind the IC and push the lever.

The IC comes out with two screws, the lower panel comes out with several, and there isn't
really a lever, more like a tiny momentary that you can't tell the difference between a
screw or the switch.

I did it while I was picking up a coffee at Tim Hortons in the drive thru.... usually a 20
minute wait....(if you've never been to Tim Horton's to get a coffee, it is insane, people
will wait in their cars for a LONG time to get a coffee) normally, I'd go inside to get a
coffee, but walking with crutches and holding a coffee = spilt coffee.  I found it easier
on my '87 Volvo to do it this way, although later cars have different dashes, so I can't
really suggest much on that.
