I've wanted to add an LED brakelight to my '89 240 wagon, since they come on
about 1/2 second faster than the regular bulbs. I put this off because of
the bulb-out warning system, which detects the different current draw
between the bulbs. A few weeks ago, I found a red side-marker ...

tears to seal them up, not look to bad, and not facilitate further ...

My 2005 XC90 just broke down for the third time.  The last 2 have been
identical electrical issues.  Just wondering if anyone else has had any
problems, or do I just have a lemon?

So I sold the V40 1.8 Sport (2002) which had replaced the S40 1.6S (1999)

Good day,
I have some sort of electrical problem with my 85 740 (and who
