Re: 1996 Volvo 850 GLT N/A - Engine cooling fan doesn't run

To close this out, I eventually got to the root of this and found the issue to be my impatience (as well as the original cooling fan.) I hadn't had an overheating episode since I put the new fan in, but I also hadn't seen the fan run when I thought it should. So I threw up my hands and brought it to...

Re: 850 Turbo Slightly Rough Idle

With all the electrical work you've done, I'm assuming that this may have happened at least happened incidentally, but have you performed an ECU reset on the car? I'm also battling a rough idle in my 1996 GLT. I feel it's a lot of little issues adding up—nothing you haven't tried—but I do find that ...

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 GLT N/A - Engine cooling fan doesn't run

Yep the fan relay is new, and the yellow & yellow-white signal wires were a little corroded near the connectors to the fan relay. So a few weeks back, I cut the wires back until I couldn't see any corrosion and spliced in new wires w/ connectors.

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 GLT N/A - Engine cooling fan doesn't run

I gave a new fan a go, but no luck. Weirdly, while I was waiting on the fan, the old one started working perfectly for one week. I could flip the AC switch on and off and see the fan start and stop. It also engaged when the engine heated up and the AC was off. All I did was a drain and fill of the t...

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 GLT N/A - Engine cooling fan doesn't run

Thanks all. I've got a new fan on the way, and I've been tinkering with the fan some more in the meantime. The fact that it could run with the ECT sensor unplugged was bothering me, so I tried grounding the middle connector pins again. To my surprise, I could turn the fan on in both the low and high...

1996 Volvo 850 GLT N/A - Engine cooling fan doesn't run

I'll add more context below, but here's the short of my question: can it still be a sign that the engine cooling fan is busted if it doesn't run when jumped but does run with the ECT sensor unplugged? My engine cooling fan isn't running, and it's giving me a major headache with the near-100-degree h...

1996 Volvo 850 GLT N/A - Radiator clips

Does anyone have the part number for the radiator clips into which the bolts that hold the radiator to the condenser mount? There are four that clip on the sides and two on the top. Mine are pretty far gone with rust, so I’d like to replace them.

1996 850 GLT - Delta link bolt spins in place (977509)

I had my car in at the mechanic to get the same fix Beige68GTO got for his rear shock mount , after I impatiently pulled out an impact wrench. While there, they pointed out what looks like a major issue with my delta link. They were able to roll my rear driver-side wheel back—the same side with the ...
