Hello

Received my new TGB1111 today

brake lights are not working. Any clues were to go looking?

What are the two indicator lights over the fuel gauge, they are always on?

Anybody have a list of indicator light functions on dash from lets say right to left in order?

Front locker light is always on "flickering" although the locker is engaging and releasing OK. Any clues were to go looking?

I am almost sure that it´s your fuse box. I had a C303 where similar problems accured.
You only need to tighten the fuse holders so the fuses get more contact.
Try it.

Any Volvo, car or truck of that era had fuse connections that were prone to losening and corrosion.
Also, check your grounds! They get corroded and dirty and it doesn't take alot to cause lights to flicker, or brake lights to not work.

After you have checked all connections and grounds and your bulbs, you will probably have to start probing wires if your brake lights still don't work.

Hey Manny
You might want to invest in a shop manual. We have good copy versions.
