Followed diags in Haynes manual re: STARTER/SOLENOID. As a result , determined starter was toast. Pulled starter out of my donor 96 850 (PITA) and installed (PITA). Started right up. On inspection of the "bad" starter the grounding cable from the solenoid to the starter had rusted thru, ma...

Definitely sounds electrical. Are there any burnt wires around the starter area? Will the car turn over freely but just not start? No burnt wires that I can see. No noise from the starter/solenoid at all. No clicking, no attempt to turn-over the engine at all. Connected my code reader: no codes rep...

1996 Auto 850GLT SW NA w/255K+. Always fired right up at the turn of the key. Today came out of a store, hopped in the car turned the key, almost started, tried again nothing, then a puff of smoke came out from under front of hood.

I just replaced the radiator (Autozone) on my 96 850. Everything went fine except one tranny hose connection. The radiator came with screw on hose connectors. What should I put on the threads of the connector that screws into the radiator as that is where it is leaking? Thanks.

Installed the used hitch I bought without a problem. Now I just need to wire a 4 wire connector in to connect to my trailer. Thanks for your help.

One awesome 850!

Thanks,

Flushed the tranny. The fluid was most likely the original (140,000miles)as it was black and the transmission magnetic drain plug had about a 1/16" of metal debris on end. No more codes relating to the transmission. It works in all gears and modes. I get a sporatic ABS lamp/code. I'm going to p...

Saw this while checking out volvo stuff....
