Does anyone know how to access the B battery cable end at the fuse box?
With all the trouble I've been having with our 850 wagon (225K) and some of the info on other posts I tried to locate it without success. The Haynes manual I have is no help either.

PS. just happened again. battery before jump 13v (analog meter) jumped car - battery running @ 8v alternator output between main connection and negative terminal - *18v After starting: battery light on faintly, then brighter ABS light came on, then SRS light on,headlights dim,wipers slow after 8-10 ...

Our 850 wagon(225k) has been having random starting issues. It will start ok for days then it acts up all day.You turn the key,all dash lights come on,but not enough juice to start, only cranks a little then nada.It will start right up when jumped. I had the battery load tested, still good.(12.6-13v...

update: I removed splash pan and found a fan unit down low near radiator(drivers side) Traced black wire to spade connector near battery, disconnected and stopped fan.

Our '94 850 wagon (215k) was dead this AM. No juice at all. Jumped it, ran it 15-20 mins, turned off restarted ok. About 30 mins later went to use it - dead again! Connected jumpers and I immediately heard "a fan" noise up near battery (key was on -oops!) Never noticed this and it wasn't t...

Ok Thanks. I'll look at the info. It's ironic that FCP is in my hometown, office is 10 minutes away!

Yes there is vapor (pouring) out of the dipstick tube with the engine running. Any suggestions?

I'll have to check that. I did notice white "gunk" on the dipstick a few weeks ago when I did an oil change. My 1990 Grand Am had that H2o issue and would get the gunk.

Yes, it pools on the bolts of the valve cover (?), runs off the distributor cap end, maybe elsewhere. I have not removed the spark plug cover to examine yet.

My 1994 850 wagon (202k) has developed a substantial oil leak in the past few weeks. It seems to be coming from the top of the engine. Is there a valve cover gasket here? What could I do to diagnose/fix?
