I can hardly believe I'm writing this, but I'm ready to consider my intermittent electrical issue with my 2004 S60 solved. If you've read through the thread, you'll see that I replaced the TCM, CEM, and BCM but continued to experience High Speed CAN crashes in high heat and humidity (above 50% humid...

This is a write up for replacing the AW50-40 slush box in an 850 with an M56 manual transmission. Most of the necessary information is already out there on various Volvo forums but another addition won't hurt. I won't go into detail on every step but I'll try to add useful tips for what I found to b...

Motorola didn't design this chip for Volvo, it was designed for multiple applications outside automotive. You are reading way too much into this, the design of parts like these is driven by supply chain considerations much more than EE. Over-riding a fuel pump relay long term with either mechanical ...

I went to Joanne fabrics and found some vinyl material that was a close match. I had my mother in law do the double stitch thing like the original (but with contrasting dark brown thread.) I then contact cemented a strip of vinyl in the center of the arm rest between the 2 existing stitch rows to bu...
