True, ambient heat from the idling engine adds complexity to the analysis. Any point along the positive cable could vary +/- 30 degF due to engine heat alone, but in this case the high current and resistance was significant enough to make it obvious that high temps were not incidentally due to the l...

Problem solved!! Thank you gentlemen for your advice! I checked voltage across test points as suggested. There was a voltage drop on the cable between the starter and the positive battery terminal (during idle) that ranged from 0.6 - 1.6 volts. I used an IR thermometer to measure temps at all points...

Sometimes while driving, the radio will shut off and some of the lights in the dash will come on (ABS, SRS etc.) Usually these lights will blink off and the radio will come back, but sometimes, if this goes on for a few minutes, the car will lose power and die. It will run again after jump starting....

Switch broke. I really just need the switch "cartridge" which include the switches for both the AC and REC.
Alternatively I will consider buying the complete MCC head.
Thanks,

Thank you for the reply abscate! I will post a WTB.

My 850 has the manual climate control unit (I believe that's what they call it), the one with the "red bars" above the heater knobs instead of temperatures. I broke my AC/REC switch when I was troubleshooting the AC and I'm very bummed. I can't seem to find the replacement switch anywhere,...

Hi, My S60 died today :( It's been a great car and I'm sad to say that I'm offering it up for sale. I'm pretty certain the turbo died and has completely seized. Consequently the exhaust gases contain a lot of blue/white smoke and it lacks power (it's not suitable to drive very far). There are no noi...
