Okay, so I bought a 98 Volvo s70, great looking car, but it has a few tech problems hopefully someone can explain before I spend money fixing something!

First the ABs light comes on sometimes which i read is an issue in this car, when the light is off, it works. but the light is on more than its off. The problem, is when the light is on and ABS isnt working, my brakes sound like a school bus. Is this normal? Or is it the brakes?

Second, the light inside the car above the passenger and driver, the drivers side doesnt work and when i put a new bulb in, it just burns it out. What causes that?

and last, when i use the thing that pops the hood, sometimes it doesntwork and you have to pull on the hood and pull the hook to have the hood open. Is it just sticky? sometimes it works.

Also, previous owners hit a deer, and the bottom left grill peice is gone and one small peice under the word volvo, moulding is gone. Is that worth replacing?

If anyone could answer any of these I'd greatly appreciate it

Got a good deal on it too! for 2k, engine runs like new, it doesnt leak and just has these few problems! My friends altima got towed

 

ABS module is bad, click the link in my signature.

Usually the interior lights are messed up when someone cuts the visor wire while changing the visor.

Hold the hood release for 3 seconds and see if that helps. If not, adjust the stops near the latches under the hood.

 

Oh, read the stickies and the new 850 owner thread in the 850 forum.

 

Okay, thank you!! I really appreciate it.
