Re: Cruise Control Intermittently working-- stumped
I looked this up recently, also, due to same symptoms in my 96 base 850. I haven't solved mine but I will explore one suggestion: the control module in the fuse box. Somebody confirm this, I think it's the one next to the headlight module. In that post I think someone suggested cleaning the contacts...

Re: Cruise Control Intermittently working-- stumped
I had a CC module lying around so I opened it up. Inside there is a relay with contacts. Clean these with sandpaper preferably 400 grit.

Re: Cruise Control Intermittently working-- stumped
The vacuum lines are a pretty good bet and cheap to replace. The switches for the clutch and brake are also an easy place to start. I don't know if there is any record of the CC pump or relay ever going bad, but those should be easy to test. Also should check the fuse for CC. Some users have reporte...

Re: Windshield Washer Resorvoir
It’s a well made unit and if you pull it out you can probably fix any leak with JB weld.
Lisle does show 9190695 available by the way ( sorry , that’s 1998-, on edit)

Re: Windshield Washer Resorvoir
It is very common for the seam to leak, where the fill tube meets the reservoir. I've never fixed it (2 of mine are like this) but any plastic-friendly epoxy should do the trick.

Re: New England Winter for a Desert Volvo?
They're well protected against rust from the factory so unless the desert has blown the original treatment away it should be fine.
Get proper winter tyres. Treat all rubber seals so they don't get stuck when it freezes. Check antifreeze and make sure you've got wiper fluid that won't freeze.
