headliner wiring harness

Hello, I recently pulled out the headliner of my 08 S80 and with it the headliner wiring. Everything went back in but I have an extra plug in the back. I have the center brake light reattached, but this plug loops off of that wire and seems to have no destination. Any ideas?

2008 Volvo S80 3.2 Serpentine Belt replacement tool

Trying to replace clutch on A/C compressor and replacing belt as well. Thought I was all set getting the more expensive Serpentine Belt tool, but for the life of me can't figure out how to make it fit into tensioner. Would appreciate any help since I haven't been able to find much info or DIY videos...

Re: '99 S80 2.9 -- replace ETM & ABS before failure?

Hey Hendoo, May want to get some 10 amp fuses to keep in the glove in case the ETM starts blowing fuses. That may keep her from being stranded. In my experience I took out the ETM and sent it to Xemodex, they sent me a referb and saved me about $500.00 but was undriveable for (if I remember correctl...

Re: 2008 Volvo S80 front end vibration

Chris, sorry for not getting back sooner, didn't get a notification. I live in Florida so I haven't seen a hill in years. I eventually went with the FEQ axels and ended up replacing all four engine mounts on the right side. That seemed to help probally should have started with the top right one beca...

Re: 2008 Volvo S80 front end vibration

Good thought, not sure what he did with the original and he isn't returning my calls. The first one(FEQ) I sent back to discount dealer, after restocking and shipping I hardly got anything for it, the current one(FEQ) is on it and I have to drive it to work. Got under it yesterday and the current on...

Re: 2008 Volvo S80 front end vibration

Thank you for the help Cees. I have been using $100-150 FEQ axles. My mechanic hasn't returned my call so tomorrow I will try and find the engine mount to see if they could be the root problem and if not replace with a Volvo axle. Hate to spend the extra but probally should have to begin with There ...

Re: 2008 Volvo S80 front end vibration

Hello, thank you for the response. It seems to be happening on acceleration (when I coast it goes away). After I have driven for a while it is less severe. My mechanic said that I probally had issues with engine mounts but that is seperate from this. The vibration is different. Not sure about interm...

2008 Volvo S80 front end vibration

I have a recently purchased my second S80. About three months ago I started noticing a vibration that seemed to be coming from the front passenger side wheel. I checked pressure, balanced tires, and rotated tires but nothing seemed to help. I've replaced both front axles (the right one twice) and al...

2008 S80 v8 AWD Lemon?

Went to look at a 2008 S80 V8 AWD today. Nice car very underpriced. Googled the VIN and got a lemon law alert website for my state(Fl). Does anyone know of any problems with this model/style, seller said it was a manufature buy back.
