Default trip computer flashing disc?

Granted I have just have my 1998 V70 for a couple of days, but while driving the center display sometimes flashes between the current reading and "disc" I could find nothing about this in the owners guide

That usually means the switch is going bad.

The trip computer switch. The one you use to go through the settings.
The switch just pulls out and unplugs.

i don't suppose there is a pic of the switch you speak of? i tried looking one up on ipd and fcp groton and found nothing. found one on some volvo parts website and they had a pic of the fog light switch as the replacement part.

also if you know where i can get a new one and for how much? tia!

It's part# 9162959

Found here for $41.34

http://www.swedishautoparts.com/V70/...-switches.html


May be available elsewhere, they were just the first ones to come up when I googled the part number.


EDIT: Used one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GOOD-...224211009r6080

It's right, they just have the wrong picture. Both part #'s are correct.
