Re: 1993 Volvo 850 blower motor resistor location

If you are blowing the thermal fuse in the power pack control module try pulling the fuse and letting it reset. The fuse will reset, but the main cause of the thermal fuse blowing is high load in the circuit and this is usually caused by warn out blower motor brushes. The brushes wear down to zero ...

Re: code P0133

It is one of the biggest pain in the rears I have ever had to change. The plug design is rediculous, and it's location is poorly thought out.

Re: code P0133

Which one did you replace? The P0133 code is triggered by the front sensor. Its usually a sensor heater element failure. The rear one rarely fails.

Re: 850 headliner rear clips

Yeah it ended up coming out the passenger side front door. Laid all the seat-backs down as far as they'd go and maneuvered it out that way. Not bad. But the sunroof trim ring cracked and now I need to replace it. Parts.com has the sunroof moulding (p/n 9193482 ) for about $45. That's the best price ...

Re: 1997 850 wagon cd player

I picked up a rebuilt SC-816 with black face from a local Volvo dealer in exchange for my stock SC-811 and $200. It was completely rebuilt and looked and functioned as brand new, and it was a plug-n-play swap out. The black face SC-816 head units were installed in the S90's originally.

Re: 850 headliner rear clips

What is the best way to extract the headliner from an 850 sedan after you remove the trim pieces ? Does it just come out through the rear door? Or do you remove the back seat and pull it out through the trunk ? Who sells the best material kits for replacement? Thanks !

No Turbo gauge after Odometer fix ?

I had to repair the odometer gear in my '95 850T and while pulling the cluster apart I popped the Turbo gauge needle off the shaft, had to to get the face plate off. When I put it back together I just pressed the needle back on the shaft about as far as I thought it should go. The needle back was ...
