Winter and Economy Buttons blinking

Very often the problem is the switch itself, but it can be down to poor connections in the gear position sensor (incorporates the Neutral/Park switch also known as start inhibitor function) or in the connections from the Gearbox Control unit to the gearbox.

All the best, Peter.

The best bet is the PNP switch. It is located on teh right side (passenger side) of the transmission near the front of the tranny. It is somewhat triangular in shape. The electrical cable goes over the tranny and is the center connector of the three on the left side.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the pleg - not as easy as it may sound. Also, in an emergency, try starting the motor and stopping it repeatedly. With the ignition off, shift through teh gears repeatedly and rapidly a few times. It can be casued by other things, but generally speaking, the switch probably needs to be replaced.

The switch sells for about $180 at Volvo in the US. FCP Groton has it delivered for $100. it's not a fun job, though, and can involve dropping the exhause system and disconnecting a tranny cooler line. Difficult tasks when you are laying on your back on the garage floor.
