I am an italian owner of a Volvo S80 2,5 Td 2000.
I am in big trouble with it after i had a battery drain for my fault that i recovered by a battery wire link with another battery car.
The engine started immediatly but i first noted an unespected low beam lights flashing.
After that i faced several electronic troubles: mistake message from the inboard computer about the ABS system. central locking very faulty as well, dashboard and control intruments out of order or working and after a while not, low beam lights that remain turned on after i switch off the car, clock and outside temperature indicator not working.
The only thing that seem to work properly is the engine.
Now the question is: it may be a CEM failure even i don't undestand how the engine seems not to be affected at all. Is it possible?
In the case of this possibility how would i face this matter?
It's an old car and i don't think it's worthy to spend more the 1200 Euro to buy a brand new CEM from a Volvo authorised dealer.
Do you have any suggestion where to buy such Cem? Am i guaranteed that if i replace it i will solve the matter?
Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
Do you have any italian mechanic where to address me?
Thank you in advance.
