Default Help Noobie with light switch

Im having trouble with my headlights not staying on. I turn the switch but they just don't want to stay on. If I hold the switch in at times hard and some times lightly they will go on. I just need to know if there is an adjustment so that the contact will stay touching and how to go about ajusting it. I suck. My car is a V90 1998 model Volvo. Please help help.

Hello again Sir.,

Is your Volvo actually a V90? I could not find V90 on the lineup; could it be another model? If it is V90, is it European-market model?

I appreciate if you could specify.

Regards,


JPN

It is most likely A V90 that was the last year of the 960 they called it a V90.

The headlight switch is bad.
A common problem on the 850's,960's, and S/V/C70's

The light switch is just held in by little clips.

You got it good?
I was going to say I just put some pics on my FS thread I am selling 2 used switches one for a 850 and one for a S/C/V 70. They broke like they normally do and I used a really good plastic glue and fixed them.
