I took it to a mechanic last week who changed the pressure switch and
tested the pressure - it's 20 psi at 2000 rpm. It seems it may be an
'84.  All this did was make the light brighter; it comes on when you
flick the switch, goes off for awhile while it's still cold, comes on
again and stays on after it warms up. I'm getting to my witts end on
this one....

Does anyone like the '95 turbo Volvo wagon?
