IIRC, the forward arrow should not affect your ability to drive at all. It indicates you are either in Winter mode or in Economy/Sport mode in a gear other than D or R, ie. 3 or L. - AB

RE: forward arrow light
OK I have a similar problem. My son took my car last night to go across town. When he left his friends house, he put the trans in 3 by mistake, for a couple minutes. He put it back in "D", but the dashboard arrow stayed on, then it started flashing. When I started the car this morning, it flashed. But drove it to work and it shifted fine the whole way. Should I be worried, or is there a way to clear this error? If I put it in Sport mode, it hauled a - - like usual, but flashing arrow did not stop. Any help is appreciated.

It might be the PNP switch which is the most common. I am not that good with the prices. I just fix them. I think it is like $150.00 to $200.00 installed.

Finally took my car to volvocenter to fix the forward arrow light (Transmission mode "W" or gear position 3 or L engaged) that turns on then put the car on limp mode. These are what they replaced 1 9466012 304377 PNP switch and 1 9128538 703646 switch that cost me more than 400 bucks to have it replaced..... after few days the light comes on again. Tech, any idea what can be the problem?

RE: forward arrow light
Take it back. If they didn't adjust the PNP switch properly it will throw a code.
I know one of the switches you listed is the PNP the other must be the switch in the console.Im not sure why they sold you that one. They very rarely go bad.
Make them relook at the car. If they try to sell you more hold off and post it on here. Try to get the codes from them as well and post them.
Sorry I forget what year is your car?

RE: forward arrow light
Tech, I have an appointment tomorrow to take it back to volvo center. The center console switch E & S light moves back ang forth then transmision light (arrow sign) on the dashboard comes on, it doesn't happen all the time.... once in few days, it doesn't blink, I just switch it back and forth to economy and sports and it disappears. Do you think it is not dangerous to travel this car for few hours? About the code it's 114-124. Thanks.

RE: forward arrow light
Did they replace the console switch?
If not then that might be bad.
114=Program selector open-circuit or short-circuit to supply.
124=program selector faulty or short-circuit to ground.
Sounds like a possible bad switch and it moving it makes the light stop flashing all the more reason to look at it.

RE: forward arrow light
Tech, Yes they replaced the console switch.....just came back from volvocenter few minutes ago and here is what they did "intermitnat fault code, checked wiring harness, earsed code and test drove ok". So, I'll observe if the trans. light will show up again. Now, I just noticed that my cruise control is not working. It was working before they replace switches, is it possible that they accidentally disconnect something that causes the cruise control problem? Thanks.
