Question about a 1988 Volvo 740?

0

I just got the car Saturday. When we left the seller’s home the right brake light and the middle one in the window were working and the left bottom light was out. Today when we were looking at the car again we noticed that ALL of the brake lights are out. So we went to the auto parts store and bought bulbs thinking it just needed bulbs, but that didn’t fix the problem. We have no brake lights. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be? All help is MUCH appreciated!!!! A: A fuse is possible, but judging by the way the lights went out, I would lean toward a wiring harness. Volvos are notorious for the wiring harnesses getting corroded and causing a “bulb failure”. If it were a fuse or a relay, they would have gone out together. I bet when you drove the car home, the vibrations from the drive shook the connections loose from the faulty harness.
