Maybe bad seating in the bulb hoder/bad connection. If you got a multimeter do a continuity test on the circuit, although this dont always give you the fault your after, but it is a start. :B_steerin

U need a power probe to power up the circuit and check continuity. Has to be a loose connection somewhere, speak to a volvo technician at the main stealer. Not come across it my self, sorry.
Does the bulb failure warning light up? May be a fault with the failure warning unit, i think the feed goes to it and then a separate feed out to each brake light. On my saloon its under the trim on the rear panel.
Im not convinced i have problem anymore! I was behind an 850 for a bit yesterday and realised that the brake light is the top red light!! :wtf: I drove into halfords yesterday cos my bulb failure light had started coming on when braking - didnt know what side it was so asked captain cock from halford to come outside and tell me. The light cluster i looked at has 3 bulbs, the middle being reverse the other 2 i now presume are tail/fog lights!! I reckon if i check the top buld it'll be knackered :slap:! Well thats what im hoping anyhow... Got to watch the Barain Qualifying first though :B_thumb: Thanks for the posts of advice guys - always appreciated!
