    Hello,

    Just before Christmas, my Volvo 240 (1990 model) was having some difficulty
    starting. I took it to my mechanic and he replaced the electrical relay
    switch.

    The problem now is that - there is no brake symbol light on the dash board,
    and whenever I press the brakes firmly - the CD/radio switches off for a few
    seconds.

    To top it off the Volvo occasionally has trouble starting.

    I'm going back to see the mechanic after the break- but before I go- has
    anyone else experienced this before?

    Cheers!

    No - but it has the signs of a missing ground. I suspect a ground was
    removed during the previous work and was overlooked when putting it back
    together.
