I would spend the extra money on original equipment engine mounts, as many on MVS,who have used cheaper have reported replacing them again within a year or two. The antenna mast ...

Re: Fuse 15 98 S70

In my 1996 854 turbo, fuse 15 is tied into interior lights, door locks, remote keyless entry (which turned out to be my problem), gas tank door lock, and truck lights. I would look try gas tank lock.

Re: 1996 850 turbo battery drain

I had similar problem last fall, a short circuit in #15 fuse line. After working on interior lights, glove box light, etc., I found my problem was the automatic door lock lock/alarm module. The unit is under the dash at the base of the steering column.
