I have an srs airbag warning light stays on and will not go away. The electrical wiring for the headlights are faulty, I tried everything to fix them nothing works. I used an inline fuse with the headlight wiring because the bulbs the continue to blowout. The Volvo forum suggested the inline fuse to fix the issue, but it did not. One headlight remains on the driver side and the passenger side comes on and off when it wants to and it also displays dipped bulb failure or beam failure.

Service lights scroll in sporadic motion flipping through constant alerts, check engine light, air bag light, constant electrical problems going on, fuel door wont open, both front seats have electrical problems, obvious burn thru on passenger side indicates its been overheated and dangerous. Everytime I've taken it in the shop they say there are no recalls - yet plenty of complaints over fires with seats. Can't used heated seats at all. Engine seems to remain inconsistent in speed, dashboard lights go completely out and the electrical issues affect back brake lights. The electrical issues bounce in cycles to where no one can detect the problems. Check engine line continues to have to be reset and service lights continually send scrolled warning to pull over. Already had vehicle towed and can't trust vehicle will start. Always a wiring issue involved. The car is in the shop now again. 3/16/18 (same issues).

Lower brake lights fail while upper rear windshield light continues to work. Had this work done once in 2005 to correct the wiring situation and now it is having to be done again. I feel this is completely dangerous for both brake lights to fail at the same time. Reading online forums has led me to believe this is a widespread issue with the 2001 Volvo S60.
Headlight wiring and connector burned causing light to go out. The dealer replaced the wiring and connector according to a TSB issued by Volvo. Dealer stated that they had repaired several Volvos with this problem. Although the dealer said this was a safety issue and Volvo issued a TSB and provided a repair kit for repairs Volvo does not consider this a safety issue. Thankfully, only one light burned out at the time otherwise I would have crashed at 70 mph. Dealer said both headlight wiring cables and connectors were burnt and they replaced both. I reported this safety issue to tennessee and kentucky consumer protection division. This one light went out on several occasions before I took the car to the dealer and discovered the safety problem. Repairs made at my cost.

Picked up my brand new 2005 (4 miles on odometer) Volvo S60 on June 9 at dealer. While driving to work the next am, and with 37 miles on the odometer, I approached an intersection. I braked normally and came to a stop. Without warning, the engine raced and the car drove into the intersection. My foot was still on the brake. I narrowly missed an on coming vehicle. I regained control and got the vehicle off the road. The car seemed to operate normally and I tried several stops and starts without problem. I continued towards work and about 5 miles later the same thing happened at another intersection. Without warning the engine raced (tach shot up) and the car took off on its own. I contacted Volvo and had the car towed away. Volvo later told me the main engine computer registered a fault code caused by a "loose wire". I asked for details and the fault code number but Volvo did not respond. The dealer claimed they fixed the problem. I request your help to resolve this dangerous situation. This car may be defective or there may be a systemic design or manufacture defect that endagers Volvo drivers. I am reminded of the Audi 5000 problem. My problem sounds the same.
Electrical problem in Volvo S60 2001. Ts.
Bulb position failure error message. I have brought in the vehicle for service of this problem and was told that no bulbs were out and that they checked all of the connections and everything seemed fine. Two weeks later the same error message is displaying again. Seems many other people are having the same problem and Volvo seems to be just brushing off the issue instead of trying to correc it. Either there is an elecrical problem or a wiring harness problem.
