Thanks to all for the experienced input. Problem solved. I charged the battery all day while at work but do not believe that contributed to the issue. I was thinking that tonight I was going to have to remove the console again and check connections and possibly adjust the cable. But first I reconnec...

I can turn the key and remove it from the ignition switch. I only saw (and touched) the one cable. So you are thinking I may have changed the big cable so it's now out of adjustment? Any tips on its adjustment? It looked like it had some red colored threadlock on the adjustment nut. Should I wiggle ...

There is a steel cable enclosed in a sheath that is attached to the shifter. Is that the cable you are referring to? If so, yes, I moved it per the Volvospeed article to see the micro switch. On hindsight, there was no need to move it as the micro switch is accessed from the opposite (drivers) side ...

The key will turn to the start position. When it's turned to the start position, the starter does not engage and the dash lights flash on and off erratically. What are you referring to with "PNP"? I thought of jump starting but figured I would simply put the charger on the battery while I ...

Curious, the micro switch simply makes the ground connection for the servo that locks the shifter. I do not see that there is any electrical connection of the micro switch to the ignition switch. Is this a correct observation? I am thinkin that the only connection to the ignition switch is the physi...

I didn't trust the crimp connector that came fitted on the Volvo replacement switch and the leads were very short. So I soldered on some longer leads and used heat shrink tubing to insulate the connections. The shifter now works without using the over ride button so I am confident the soldering was ...

So what did I do? My 850 had the classic switch interlock issue so I got a new microswitch and replaced per instructions on Volvospeed. What a PITA to get to! So I put it all back together and now the shifter will move from park when I press on the brake but...now the ignition is not functioning. It...

To continue this thread, I installed the ECC unit with the green plug and cleared the codes. The good news is that no codes have returned. The blower speed is manually adjustable but still seems slower at maximum than before. To complicate the issue, the ABS lite is not illuminated. Don't know where...

Received two used ECC units and have not yet installed either. Before I try, one of the units has yellow plugs in the back with the following numbers: 6847529 W305K. The other has green plugs and the number is 9134820 W448K. My original unit has green plugs and is number 6847529 W315K. I am assuming...

Thanks Ben, I had a friend pick up two ECC units at a Pic n Pull in San Antonio. I should have them in hand next week end. Hopefully one of them is the "newer" version and will work for me. I'll post back after I get them and see if one of them works.
