Ok I fixed it. The scotch Connector things were not making contact. I just grabbed a test light, check out the voltages, and then got pliers and squeezed the connectors tight.
All working well now.
Again, thank you OP for giving me the color of the wires. Worked perfect!

Re: Trailer light wiring install?
The wire colors are on the diagrams. There is a chart on page 2 called, "How to use the diagrams" that breaks it down. Ok, so on the driver's side rear light, the left turn signal is green, and the brake light is yellow-grey and it looks like the tail lights have two wires, one red-white ...

Re: 1996 850 Wagon Service Light On
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you couldn't clear it off on a '96 without dealer diagnostics or much later a special gadget that costs about $75. That raised a hew and cry from owners that caused Volvo to relent a bit and make it go off automatically on the S70s after the engine had run for about 30 ...
