Re: 1995 850 won't start, doesn't crank, no click

Not the battery, or at least not just the battery. Cleaned the battery clamps & swapped in a known good battery from my 240. No change. Haven't been able to test the ignition switch yet.

How does one go about testing the ground? Is there only one ground point, or are there multiple grounds that ...

Re: 1995 850 won't start, doesn't crank, no click

Standard shift, so no PNP switch, I guess.

Battery voltage is 12.1. But would that really cause it not to turn at all, not even to groan a bit, even when jumping it? Anyway, I will pull the battery as soon as I can & try another one. And I will test the starter switch.

BTW I did check the ...

1995 850 won't start, doesn't crank, no click

Subject says it all, almost.

All the dash lights light up when I turn the key, but when I turn it to the start position there is nothing else: no click, no crank, no sound from the fuel pump.

The car has been sitting a while. I started it a week or so ago and let it run. Decided to do so again ...

1995 850 Rear brake line shield???

Have lost the piece of plastic that carries three rubber hoses (brake lines plus fuel line?) lengthwise under the middle part of the car. I am trying to find a replacement, but I don't actually know what it is called. Can anyone provide the correct term for this thing, and/or a part number? Many ...

1988 240 wagon wheel bearing question

I took my car to a tire shop for an alignment yesterday, and they said that the front wheel bearings need to be replaced.

With the car jacked up, I can wobble the passenger-side wheel in all directions. That wheel is also making a quiet grinding noise when driving. I asked a mechanic about the ...

Re: Install MPGuino on 1995 850?

Still puttering away on this when I have the time. I think I can find a fuel injector signal wire, but I'm not so sure about the vehicle speed sensor. Is it on the gearbox for standard shift (my car) as well as automatic? What am I looking for?

Remove back seat from '95 850 sedan

How to remove the back seat (seat itself and back rest) from my '95 850 sedan?

The instructions I've found online don't seem to work. For the back rest, they say to fold it down one half at a time, then pull it to the outside and up at the same time. But when I pull to the outside, it doesn't move ...

Install MPGuino on 1995 850?

Having concluded that I can't use a ScanGauge on my 1995 850, because it really doesn't have an OBD-II port ( https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=56314 ), I am wondering about installing an MPGuino instead ( http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/MPGuino ).

It's probably a ...

Re: 1995 850 OBD-II port?

Vincheck confirms it is a 1995. I guess I will give up on that, then. Thank you, everyone.

Re: 1995 850 OBD-II port?

And except when you want to install a ScanGauge, which requires OBD-II.
