For the past few weeks my dashboard lights have not been working when the headlight switch is turned to the "on" position. So figuring out my speed at night has been super fun. Anyway I decided to tear apart the switch and clean it up. A little cleaning with light sanding and new dielectri...

Installed my Erie volvo door latch assembly and a door cable from FCP on the xc90. Works like a charm now. The cable is only $15 for new bluebox. Also took the time to swap out the turn signal indicator. It feels so much better and actually works now. My new problem that I hoped the new indicator wo...

Hello all, Ive decided to start a build thread focused on making 3d printed parts for our Volvos. I'm placing this thread in the P80 forum since most of my designs for the foreseeable future will be focused on my 850. I do have an XC90 but shes in mint condition and will not likely need any 3d print...

It needs a little fine tuning but it fit my vehicle just fine. Some design changes I made was to do away with the odd metal clips that attach to the und...

Control knobs for Electronic Climate Control (ECC). I seem to be the only one who needs this but my knobs broke at the center and the metal clips popped out. I blame decades of Texas summers. Anyway I designed 2 versions. One that requires the metal clip and one that does not. I tried to mimic the t...

Thanks Matt, thats working for me.

Happy 20th MVS!

Without this forum and it's ever knowledgeable members, my wagon would still be sitting undrivable over a bad pnp switch. Thanks to everyone who helped get me this far. I'll drive her until the end of eternity. Here's to another 20 years!
