    Hello
    I just bought this Volvo 670. The parking brake does disengage but truck still thinks it is applied.
    I looked for the sensor but unable to pinpoint which one. All connections seem good. With what I have been reading some say dash valve, others parking brake sensor.
    Anyone ever have this happen to them? I am new to this realm and would appreciate any assistance.

    Also working on a/c system (check climate unit at next stop) and (check light control module at next stop) issues as well.

    Take it back to the dealer you bought it from, Oh, you bought from a private party without checking the truck out?

    electrical rely switch has failed. Where it is on a Volvo I could not say. 900 k on tact hope you got her at a good price because plan on her pulling your chain on this type of stuff. Good luck.

    Don't feel bad, 2013 389 Pete with A Cummins in it, and she only runs on a full tank before air locking.

    ok For the parkind brake switch its simple. Remove the panel behind your clutch pedal all the way to the left of the dash. once removed look on the firewall there will be about 10 air switches look on the manifold it should write PBS of it's the one with the brown connector unlike the other ones it has a different connector all together changing it it's a little tough being that it's a push in fitting make sure you have a small flat screwdriver put it between sensor and manifold then try to push screwdriver toward manifold and pull sensor. That's 99% your problem with parking brake. without pulling out some codes hard to find the problem with check climate control most likely control is bad but need codes and some diagnostics to be sure.
     
    ratchet196 Thanks this.

    Did you preprice the repairs to know it would still be a good deal when all the issues were fixed? Doesn't sound like it as you don't even have this problem diagnosed. Good luck!
