97 850 Brake Light Bulbs

Jan 20, 2005 2 Replies

Does anyone else have problems with brake light bulbs in the 850 wagon? I seem to need a new brake light (it varies from side to side) about every two months or so.

Change both of them @ the same time

Have you checked the voltage. The voltage regulator may be shot.

There were a couple years when the sockets were a problem and were not heat sinking the bulbs properly and they would burn out too fast. Volvo had a recall for this problem.
