I see the light!!!
 

A warning light in my volvo 850 T5 has just come on and I don't have a clue what it is, just wandering if any of you peeps know..... No **** taking cause I drive a Volvo though :D

The light is situated under the handbrake light, it's a green triangle with what looks like a jack in it! Any ideas would be greatly received, cheers :)

Its the someone has stolen your jack warning light.

Is it the malfunctioning indicator lamp warning?

What year is your car?

Might be worth a look

It's a 95 model.

pg. 1:3 Indicator and warning lights

If the lamp glows continuously when the engine is running, there is only about 1/2 - 1 US qt. remaining in the washer fluid reservoir.

When the lamp glows, only about 1.8 US gals. (8 liters) of fuel remain.

lamp 22 is the one directly below the handrake warning lamp. The pictue of the dash wont copy.

Cheers Paul, just had a quick butchers at the site and does look to be an indicator lamp malfunction,although the diagram for number 22 looks different, as it's located above the parking light it must be that. Thanks again

Just realised the website posted up by rockhopper was an American site so still am at a loss as to what this poxy light is........:mad: there must be some other volvo owners in the DSC,c'mon own up.

Has the nut behind the steering wheel come loose :burn::burn:

I used to have a t5, I think I may have some manuals somewhere for it in my loft I will have a look later. Just spent the last 5 hours pulling half my jag engine apart to find a coolant leak! Typical the heater hoses which I suspect are the cause of the leak are between the v of the 2 cylinder banks (its a v8) only problem is theres a ruddy great big supercharger on top that completly hides everything so I have had to take that off and a load of other parts its taken me 5 hours and lo and behold the hoses look ok so I am now thinking head gasket. Bugger!
