The most common fault is the handbrake microswitch under the centre console - this can be swapped with the one in the glove box that turns the light on ( yes, really..! ) to eliminate the switch as the fault.

1998 Volvo 940 auto estate - also mine

Is it possible to replace the switch without removing the entire centre console?

NVM.. It was quite easy unscrewing the centre console and lift it up. Replacing the handbrake switch with the one i the glove box worked perfectly and solved the problem :D
