Re: '77 245 stalled and won't start

All the leads seem good and solid... Just replaced my two relays under the dash and they click now all the time but still nothin from the pumps. Didn't have my spark plug socket with me to check for spark

'77 245 stalled and won't start

I have a '77 245... the other night as I was driving it suddenly stopped running. I came back to the car today and couldn't get it to start up. The fuel pumps were both running fine at first, but after much tinkering today we noticed that they were no longer coming on. To make matters worse there is...

Re: bulb failure sensor 1977 245

got it and it solved all my issues... It was smaller than any of the replacements I've seen and was silver... I was unable to purchase a replacement of the right size so I busted it open and jumped the proper connections for the tail lights. I DO want to know the story of how it has a funky sensor t...

Re: bulb failure sensor 1977 245

I'm pretty sure it's just the instrument cluster hookup from looking at wiring diagrams.

Re: bulb failure sensor 1977 245

thanks! I've got a replacement yellow one that is what this car should have... all I can find under there though is a round canister with 12pins on it as opposed to 15... Is this just a different stock part or has someone possibly messed with it and replaced the part wrong, while adding different co...

bulb failure sensor 1977 245

So... I've been having troubles with the tail lights on my 1977 Volvo 245 and have undertaken fixing it myself... The wires have continuity all the way up to the connector in the dash, and 12v is sitting on the fuse... I was under the impression the bulb failure sensor relay was under the dash on th...

1977 245 starting problem

So I have a 77 Volvo 245 that's been giving me some grief... Most of the time she starts right up, but occassionally it's a no go. no real rhyme or reason. I decided to swap the battery with the one on my 83 and now the lights will come on but when I turn the key it just shuts everything off.. Ideas?
