For about a year the ABS light on my '97 850 has come on when it felt like it (more times on than off especially in the Texas summer). I checked several sources and got a lead to the right rear wheel sender but never pursued it. The brakes worked fine. About six months ago, my speedometer/odometer started working when it bloody well felt like it (eventually more time not than otherwise). Took it to the shop and, after some research they said that there's this little gear in the speedo that goes bad. I told them that was not what I was seeing but they ordered the gear. The dealer sent the wrong gear and they called me to tell me this. Again I expressed my misgivings about the "little gear" story. Again they went to research the matter. They called me and said they had found references to the ABS computer causing the speedometer to fail. Now I once replaced the cable to the speedo in my 164 and had a degree of culture shock at this ABS story but I told them to proceed. Car returned three weeks ago with no ABS light showing. Speedometer works ALL the time. Brakes work just as intended. There's apparently a reason I don't do my own work any more. Up through the mid-period 240s I could understand and figure out what to do even converting a FI 140 to a carburetter. Long story there. A FI fuel pump will make a carb spout like a water fountain. Thought you might enjoy this story, improbable as it is. Chuck Fiedler Nothing but Volvo since 1973
