1992 volvo 960
I have a 1992 volvo 960. The light on the column flash w e or s e back and forth. Could this be a switch or some module and is there a way to determine what it is? Does anyone know what is wrong? My check engine light continues flashing, I dont know how to check my obd-i for codes.
Today when driving the flashing stopped and is driving in E, the right way. I am confused because this happens and then doesnt happen. How do I check the codes on the car to see why my check engine light is staying on?

I actually had that with my '95 and '97 model. I used the OBD-II port to read the code and reset it. I guess it was a hichup because after I reset the code everything went back to normal.
You should have the OBD-I system under the hood. Search this and other sites to learn how to read it, then reset it, and maybe it will go away. Make a note of the code in case something starts going wrong you will know what the code was.

Would I need to buy the oem? I thought there was a built in computer reader on these cars and a place to manual reset the computer. I have taken it to my local mechanic (and napa) who does my oil changes and he told me to bring it to the dealer because his reader doesnt work on the 92 volvo. I thought either he is not familiar with volvos of just doesnt know what he is doing. I dont have dealer cash and I just need to find out what is going on with my car. The check engine light stays on and the W E S mode randomly switch. I just purchased a new neutral safety swtich and am waiting to get that through the mail in hopes this will fix the problem. I just wish there was an easier way to read any codes that are coming up.

There is an easy way to read the codes. You need to do it with your OBD-I port under the hood. It should look like this:

First check operation of the Air Thermostat. If it is not closing the flapper, you can replace it, or you can shove it closed.
You can also try to clean the MAF. Take it apart. First dunk its tip into Simply Green Multipurpose cleaner, wipe it clean. Then dunk it in 99% rubbing alcohol. Wipe it clean and reinstall it.
