If my memory serves me right, I believe that the position light is your rear brake light. It can be difficult to see though so look very closesly. What I did is I replaced all the bulbs for the rear light assemblies while I was in there and working on it. That way I don't have to deal with any of that for quite some time. But then again I'm pretty OCD. lol

RE: Bulb Failure - Position Light
Okay so I did the OCD thing and replaced all the bulbs in taillights and now the "Bulb Failure - Position Light" readout is gone and it shows my avarage MPG but I still have no brake lights other than the 3rd brake light in the rear window? I checked the fuses by the drivers side door panel and the ones in the trunk on the drivers side and none are blown? The reverse lights work, the running lights work, the turnsignals work, but the brake lights (other than the 3rd) do not light up when I hit the brakes? Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance, Cameron
EDITED: Also the fuse for the cigarette lighter keeps blowing when I use a cigarette lighter and / or a cell phone charger. It will work for awhile but eventually it blows out. As far as I can tell all the wiring looks to be OEM and no splicing, loose ends, or anything unusual?

After a couple hours on googlke and what-not it seems to me that it may be a relay in the trunk area (light brown)? However I called the only local Volvo dealer in town and their parts and service department are closed on weekends I tried AutoZone also but they do not carry the part Has anyone else had a relay go out and had this problem?

I have seen the relays mess up all the time.
If you have to for now swap it with something thats really not all that important for the moment.
Also sometimes the connections are only dirty.

Well I did the relay switch-a-roo ( thanks tech for the diagram and advice on which one to sway ) and I now have all brakelights working!! The readout still displays :: Bulb Failure - Position Light :: as it did before but that was not my main concern, it was having only the third brakelight only working. I may take it to Volvo of Dayton around here and have them look at it but honestly I am kind of a do-it-yourselfer ( ie: using this forum rather than taking it to the dealer in the 1st place ) as I can only assume the most of us are. Anyway, thanks a million Tech, now I feel safe for my fiance' and 4 month old daughter to commute around town in the S80 !! [sm=groupwave.gif]
