2006 Volvo S80 T6 "Issues" With Instrument Gauge Cluster 

Sometimes disconnecting the instrument cluster with the ignition on will trigger a permanent code in the airbag module. I doubt that airbag warning was left over from the old car. But I will say the airbag system won’t work if it has an error illuminating the warning light, you’ll have to get that cleared. Also if you want the old cluster back to get the miles correct, check out Southern Electronics. They specialize in gauge cluster repair, will fix everything wrong with it for a flat fee. They’re local to me and I’ve always had good experiences with them (including a Volvo cluster, though for a much older car)

Tape over the light is better then the guy who owned my old truck before me back in the day. He just took a drill to it without removing a thing. This was great because when I bought the truck, the light had to work in order to pass smog, which needed to be done in order to put the truck in my name. Good Times!

Don't mess with the DIM. Remove, send off for a rebuild and install. Job done. Very easy to destroy these clusters.

I’ve owned one Volvo. It was a 91 240 sedan. Bulletproof engine and transmission but like you said the electrics and plastics didn’t enjoy the same trouble free operation as the engine did.

Kind of unusual for the mileage and trip and error messages to be stored in the cluster itself. Usually that's in the cars main computer, for just the purpose of replacing the cluster if need be. My dad has a 2008 F150 and he had to get his instrument cluster replaced, when the new one was installed it displayed the same information as the old one. Wiping the memory of the replacement might be an option, or maybe a dealer consultation is in order. 🤔

I would wear an earth strap plus mat, touching any pcb will significantly reduce its lifespan. (Telecommunications) Meguiars PlastX to get scratches out..

HI SIR, IF THE ODOMETER NO RUNNING ? BUT SPEED IS RUNNING HOW YA ?

Hi Chris! If you don't mind, please share with us how you ultimately addressed the ABS and odometer issues. Someone's sanity may depend on it.

Hej!!! Using Davinci alot...it's easy...anyway i'v had similar problem on a 750...switched the whole cluster out and that worked for me ...found one at the scrap yard!!

Don't know for sure but isn't it a security/theft thing that the ECU retains the milage? Stops clocking the car by unscrupulous people?

Mileage is store on the clusters in these cars, makes it frustrating when a cluster fails

Did you ever fix it

If it's doing all that now, it's time to trade it in I think.

if you can tap on it and it changes like that you sir have a bad soulder joint

You might be able to reset the mileage with a scan tool.
