Hi there. Today the 98 started having the headlights not turn on! The middle of the switch, the corner lights light; And the high beams still work!
What's going on?

After checking the low beam bulbs, I would check the switch, it's probably coming apart and will fall apart when you remove it - :(
Yes... Do you mean the headlight switch, or the ignition switch?Quote:

The headlight switchQuote:

Awesome. Thanks man!Quote:

If you haven't already got'em, here is a link for getting your wiring diagrams:
http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/volvo-wiring-diagrams
Here's the actual PDF for '98's at that page of links:
http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/dow..._C70_Coupe.pdf
Once you download the book, the diagram you want is on page110 (PDF page 30).
The page that shows you where all the things in the wiring diagram are in the car is 111 ( PDF page 204).
Here's the good part...The Functional Diagram, page 264 (PDF page 107).
( You may be asking yourself "Why are the pages all mixed up?" Well, these diagrams are FREE...'nuff said... )
Now it's time to start chasing power. You'll see fuses called out as 11A and 11C.
11A refers to the fuses in the "MAIN FUSES" box located between the master cylinder and the strut tower .
(11B fuses are also in the "MAIN FUSES" box - They're the 5 small fuses in there, but those are all engine/drivetrain fuses.)
11C refers to fuses in the distribition "FUSE" box at the base of the windshield on the drivers side.

Hopefully, this info will help you track it down.
(Don't forget fuse 26! )
Thanks, BEJinFBK! :thumbup:
Where are "Fuses 104-108?"
I'm gonna drive the Volvo to JRL and he is gonna fix it.
It's not and never was my car,
How can you post, you're BANNED!
