s60 dash display problem

[Tribble]

Hi
My old mans 52 plate s60 illuminated dash lights have all gone off. The clock also seems to reset itself.

any ideas ???

sounds like the start of the famous DIM failure (Drivers Information Module), not sure if its a soldering issue or the circuit board breaking up but its a well known problem with S60's. Alsorts of weird & wonderfull stuff normally happens to the dials, my old mans currently has the clock counting backwards, no indicator or full beam dash warning & a couple of other little things

these LINK (http://www.bba-reman.com/uk/index.aspx) can fix it if you send it away, new dials will cost about £700 from Volvo

Quick reply

Thanks

I was just reading up on DIM failure and have looked a bba site.

Just need to get a quote and see how easy it is to remove display

Just found out that Cruise and Main beam isn't working but I kinda like the backwards clock issue !!!

A member on here got it done for 99 quid plus VAT!

To remove the clocks: Pull the steering wheel out and down as far as it will adjust. Grip the surround for the clocks under the dash hood and pull down and back - it should just unclip. Undo the TX screws that hold the clocks in place and remove.

Remember to disconnect the battery before removing the clocks and don't switch anything on until you've refitted it all!

Damm it all went too easy

I disconnected the battery in the boot and then closed it.
How do you open the boot without power ?
