Getting an warning light on the dash of the 2007 XC90 that says "Bulb Failure Position Light".
I understand Bulb Failure, but what does it mean by Position Light?
Any help is greatly appreciated, because there are no obvious lights not burning. I know that on my 244 GL, it could be finicky about showing the bulb failure light while having a new bulb on one side while leaving an old one in the equivalent socket on the other side. Could this be a situation like that? Does the XC90 "compare" bulb load on either side to determine a bulb failure like my 244 did?

This XC90 was just at the dealership for other work and as we were waiting to leave, the service manager came to us and said that this light was on and they needed to check it out. So they made us late for lunch while we waited. They had already had it for 2 weeks fixing another problem, but yet they only found this one at the last second. he said it was fixed, but now 3 days later, the same light is back on Looks like Tulsa Volvo is getting ready to lose a star from their 5 star service rating.
But the little yellow flower on the corner of the birthday cake that really earned them the term "stealership" is that they kept the 3rd row floor mats.

Parking or the corners-of-the-car lights. Front or rear. Same technology as the old 240!

Common sense trumps a PhD

The position light(s) is(are) the rear lights. The S60 eats these for breakfast, so I buy them two at a time. I can't get this bulb at the local parts store, it is a stealer item, about $2.50 each. The odd thing is it seems intermittent. The warning comes on then goes off. Maybe after two weeks the bulb finally goes kaput. The dealer says he sees this all the time. It is a Volvo design issue to be sure.

Happy Motoring! 93' 244 and 2002 S60

I have the same problem with my 2001 XC70 and I have a solution. Gently, but firmly hit the position light with an open hand. The light will go back on and he warning light will go away. The only downside to this process is that the next bump you hit on the road will jar the bulb free and the warning light will come back on. I think the bulbs are not seated properly.
