I have a volvo 1995, 960 wagon, sometimes the arrow on the dash comes on and sometimes not, plus, the gas gage sometimes does not work, or the speedometer, also the temperature gage is not working
Experienced athletes share their insights in answering this question:
Sounds like you could have several different things going on.
The speedometer on most cars is a flexible cable that is attached to the side of the transmission (this is a general rule of thumb and not necessarily specific to your car model). It screws into the transmission and into the back of your instrument cluster.
The “arrow” working intermittently could possibly be a back contact somewhere, I’m guessing you mean the turn signal arrow. This could be a worn out turn signal selector. If you remove it from the steering column and inspect it, there are some copper contact points that will engage when you move the selector, these could be corroded (especially if you live in a wet climate) or they could be worn out (the vehicle is almost 20 years old). Buying a used control module from the junk yard could be an easy and cheap fix. You may also have a “short” in the wires, faulty ground, or bad instrument cluster.
The temperature gauge could be a faulty thermostat, but if it was bad your car would probably over heat. It could be the thermostat sending unit that is located near the thermostat housing. It could be corroded and need to be replaced so it sends proper signals to the instrument cluster.
1996 was the year that OBDII computers were mandated in vehicles sold in the US, so your chances of getting clear and concise fault codes out of your vehicles computer is not real good.
Without more details, this is the best I got, but a couple places to start looking if you are handy with tools and a do-it-yourselfer.
good luck!

1995 kawasaki 750 jet ski overheats when going fast
ANSWER : Check your plug color. You may be having a high speed mixture problem. Is your ski spitting water out the tiny hole on the side? You should try flushing the engine, you could have a motor full of sand if you beach the craft but do not wash the sand out of the back before starting. Also inspect the engine water tubes for cracks. From the hull to the motor and from the hull to the jet pump.
I have a 1995 Viking Pop up camper. I blew a fuse repairing the outside light switch. After replacing the fuse, all lights, including inside are still not working. All power outlets work, just no lights.
ANSWER : I would double check the fuse then check for ground. It sounds as if you may have a ground disconnected since only the lights aren’t working. You can do this to check to see if it is a ground problem but your switch will have to have a grounding wire currently hooked up to it. You can take the green grounding wire and place it on the terminal where the white wire is connected. Once you turn on the power switch on the power to the lights and see if they work at this time. If so, You have a grounding problem. Good luck on your repairs

I am getting white smoke, possibly steam after running my Volvo 2030 for about 45 minutes. Water flow seems regular, oil level did not reduce.
ANSWER : Have you got a ny Fuel in with your water? It could that you’ve got a leaky injector.
It could also be water getting mixed with fuel due to corrosion in the Intercooler/Heat Exchanger. What type and colour of coolant are you using?
I have a 1995 polaris 500 indy snowmobile. It keeps overheating. What can I do.
Thanks Randy
ANSWER : There are some possibilities that you will have to check out
1)
check the coolant level.is it full or got empty.
2)
Check out the engine is it running at idle.
3)
Also check for any bubbles in the coolant bubbles in
your coolant, means you’re either sucking air from the water pump inlet hose,
or have a compression leak into the water jacket.
What do your plugs look like? A white plug is
getting water, and would indicate which cylinder is leaking.
4)
Check the head gasket.
