    Default Reset service light on 740gl Volva?

    How to turn of the service light on this thing? I've changed the hoses, plugs, plug wires, cap & rotor & fluids. It is a pleasant thing to work on, really. Even the instrument cluster comes out easily, with 2 forward screws holding things together.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Take out the cluster and fully depress a button that is located just to the right of the odometer on the back of the speedo......Cheers!!

    Default Dunno where the sig went.

    Maybe it was offensive, or possibly irrelevant with no actual e34 in the picture?

    Default It depends on what year it is. The older ones you take the dash out and

    reset on the back side. The newer 740s have a round rubber plug on the front of the dash cluster face next to the speedometer and down near the bottom of the cluster. You remove the rubber plug with a small screwdriver or dental pick and then with a small punch you push the button in the center to reset.

    yep, obd I 850s are fun to reset the 5k mile service light, they did away with the conveinant button and turned it into a agravating tap dance on the diagnostic port
