One problem related to exterior lighting has been reported for the 1996 Volvo 850. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving and without warning the exterior/interior lights shut off and the consumer was unable to see. As a result the consumer was forced to pull over to the side of the road. The Volvo dealer has been notified. The symptom has now occurred multiple times. The light would come back on when the keys move about in the ignition switch, while the engine continued to run. Scc.
