service light

Be aware: if you have a different gauge cluster, the OBDI port won't reset the light like in the video. If your tach goes to 8000 you have the cluster with the light that CAN'T be reset through the OBDI port. Instead, you have to pop off a little rubber cover by the bottom left of the speedometer and then use a long, thin screwdriver to depress the now uncovered button to turn off the service light. I learned this the frustrating way after trying for a couple of days to reset my service light through the OBDI port with absolutely no success.

So I went to reset the light with the VDO procedures and after 4 tries still no luck and when ever I got to the part where the light was supposed to come on and stay on it would blink on once and go out. Also after this the car would not start. I figured I would stop doing that for a while and clean up my battery contacts because of the starting issue I had, https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-...g-issue-71464/ . After cleaning all the battery connections I went back and tried resetting the service light again and this time it all went perfect and the car started the first try. I wonder it all this is connected.

This guy and his videos have been very helpful! However on my '94 nonturbo, which does not have the Yazaki dash, will not reset the service light. In addition, the service light will occassionaly flicker while driving.
Any ideas for me?
EDIT: I ran through the sequence 3 more times and the last try worked and the light is off.
Thanks!
