Re: 94 850 Sedan Tail Lights Gone Mad

With the Headlights on, things are worse:

Turn signals flash both rear running lights and faintly the center stop light.

I have done no electrical work on the car recently.

Re: 94 850 Sedan Tail Lights Gone Mad

I noticed that the turn signals were acting up about a month ago. Things have gotten progressively worse.

I just inventoried the tail light functions:

With the head lights off:

Hazard Switch on: Yellow tail light flash and front side panel lights flash, dashboard "bulb out" flashes.
Left and ...

94 850 Sedan Tail Lights Gone Mad

Hi All --

I've been trying to resolve a turn signal / tail light array issue. When I don't have my headlights on, depressing my brake pedal brings up the bulb out warning on my dash. The brake lights show on the tail light array of the car. If I have my turn signal on, it works on the dash and tail ...

Re: Shorting Power Connector to 850 blower

Thanks all. I'm heading on vacation and won't get to the dialectric grease until I'm back. But that sounds like a good approach. I'll post when I see the results.

Re: Shorting Power Connector to 850 blower

I renewed my filter after I started experiencing issues with the blower. The blower itself is a new aftermarket blower. Thanks for taking an interest. I unplugged and again cleaned and blew out any dust from the connector today, and again it seems to be working fine. The metal on the connector ...

Shorting Power Connector to 850 blower

Hi --

I recently replaced my blower and resistor on my '94 Volvo 850. Everything was running fine until one evening when I smelled burning / overheating plastic and the blower quit. I assumed the blower had seized or brushes had failed, though the blower fuse was fine. It was after ordering ...

Re: Fuel Pump Relay Repair

I found this post over a year ago when my 850 stalled at home and clearly wasn't getting fuel as I attempted to start the car. I pulled the relay, tapped it a few times, put the relay back in the car and it started right up. I ordered a new relay (driving on the old one for 4 more days) and have ...

Re: Fuel Pump Relay Repair

I was out shopping on a 100 degree F day in Washington DC. As I left the house, 94 850, 120K, started sluggishly for the first time. Thought the heat may have messed up the choke. I drove 10 miles to a mall, parked under the sun, and returned to a car that clearly wasn't getting any fuel. I opened ...
