hi all, a couple of days ago my 2004 xc90's radio display went off, and hasnt come back on. the radio sand cd player still works fine, as does the steering wheel controls. could it be a fuse?bulb? if so, where do i locate them? ive heard rumours it could cost as much as £2000 to get sorted at a main dealer....please say it isnt so. any help much much appreciated

you really need the help of your dealer here with this fibre optic system , it may just be a software needed but the codes will need to be acted upon ..

XC90 radio blank
Hi,
I have the same issue and very affraid about the cost of repair... Everything was OK, and I have not noticed any issues. Just yesterday I wanted to turn the radio on, and the display remains blank. Analysing so far, the radio doesn't completely work, nor the CD (CD is inside, but it will not start to play; I cannot eject the CD anyway). But I can enter a menu to Radio or CD menu. If I turn the volume knob, it shows the "volume bar" empty (like if you set the minimum), even if turn it the way for higher volume. I can enter a FM/AM band menu as well, but no change, no sound, nothing on display. Carphone doesn't work at all (not even a menu). Parking sensors are not working at all, too. :-(((((((((( I found that if the knobs on ICM are lighting, the ICM has elecric power (if they don't, the fuse or ground is cut). My knobs are lighting. I will be very thankfull for any ideas how to solve it (without buying new ICM for € 1000). Martin |

Had this intermittently happening to me. Blank radio, no phone, parking sensors etc. Thought I was in for some serious cost. I checked the fuses (located in the dash, drivers side). When I checked I found there was no fuse in the “phone” position. I put this in and checked all the rest (there were others in the wrong position as well) and never had a problem since. I really have no idea what someone had done but they obviously could not follow a simple drawing of fuses and fuse positions. There were fuses in positions for accessories the car does not have and this missing? I guess you will be lucky to have the same person fiddling with the fuses in your car but my point is that my system would work 95%+ of the time even with a fuse missing. For the times it failed it wasn’t just the phone that stopped it was everything associated. So I would check the fuses for all the items not working and hope it’s that simple. Sorry for the long explanation but wanted to explain why I would do this.

Hi Im having same problem with display on a 2003 XC90 D5 SE except that the display goes blank for c 90% of the time then somewhat randomly reappears when it feels like it! Meanwhile, radio, CD, park assist all work perfectly all the time.
Im certainly not in the market to spend a crazy £850. Will look for salvage but wonder if theres not a simpler and cheaper solution as i wonder if its just a loose connection. Elliot2 - have you managed to sort this problem for anyone ? All contributions gratefully received PS Just joined forum - finding it v useful. On balance have owned car from new and its been the best family car we've ever had! Wouldnt swap it ! Last edited by andy.coveney; Sep 17th, 2010 at 01:29. |

I have exactly the same problem. Mine is a 2004 XC90 D5 SE. Had the car a year now and almost from day one the radio would have a mad minute or so where it would jump uncontrollably from station to station before settling down. Now the display is totally blank.
I can get hold of a second hand unit for £175 but my local Volvo dealer says that only the original radio or a virgin unit can be fitted a total cost of £950 !!!! I am so unhappy about this, I have never had a car, even a cheap nasty car, where the radio stopped working, even if it had of done it would have been easy and cheap to replace. Volvo should not be allowed to bury their head in the sand and not help out as there are now too many XC90 owners with this problem. Any suggestions gratefully received |

Something to check
I've managed to fix my ICM by replacing a burnt MOSFET transistor (2SK2503) on the PCB. See the attached picture highlighting the failed transistor.
It's fairly easy to get to the PCB. There are some instructions on the WEB but if you need any help along the way, just let me know. Cheers, Jay |

Hey Karma Police! Thanks for your instructions. I want to try this myself, as I still have my old ICM with a dead display here... But... Do you have a good source for buying these transistors? Most sites want to sell you like a thousand pcs, and I would really just like a few
Thanks
