    I was moving my dash switches to some empty spaces to make room for some gauges when I came across this, anyone knows what's this for? Thanks

    Looks like a diff lock symbol. That must be a Volvo pictograph because that's not an ISO symbol that I'm aware of.

    I don't think so, this is the wiring of my diff lock switch

    That's not a diff lock you have, that's the inter-axle lock. Diff locks are in each diff (if spec'd with them).

    That makes sense, it must be a Volvo specific symbol, that harness is not used it's just hanging in there so I assume the truck doesn't have a diff lock, only has an interaxle lock
