Well... I posted a while back about the cooling fan not working and followed thru with a lot of suggestions. Hooked the battery up to the fan, which turned it on, so I replaced the fan relay, which did not work. Others suggested it was bad wiring, or still a bad relay. In the meantime it would overh...

1995 Volvo 850 GLT sedan 150,000 miles. Hey forum! This is related to my previous post https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11112&highlight=. I bought a used fan relay for my radiator cooling fan, which luckily had the same part number, replaced the old one and... the fan sti...

1995 volvo 850 GLT Sedan, USA 145,000 miles. The driver seat belt retractor gave in and I found a used one online for around $70 and installed it myself. Now the "SRS" light is stuck on. The Haynes Manual said to "have them replaced by a Volvo dealer," well that's not what a po p...

Yeah, I unplugged everything and replugged back in, they all looked good. Good question about the A/C... its a whole nother issue. I've had it recharged every year for three years, and it loses its cool before the summer ends. I might jump to the A/C forum on here to see if there's anything I can do...

Well last night I was lucky enough to have my friend who's an electrical engineer, read the schematic in the Haynes manual and tell me how to hook the battery up to the fan... and it works! That probably narrows it down to the fan relay from what most of you are saying. A couple shops on the web sel...

We're novices here. Can you tell me how to jumper the fan with 12v? Can I use the car battery? What kind of wires do I need? Also, it's getting expensive to keep refilling the coolant while we figure this problem out. Would it be hurting the car if I temporarily used more water in the coolant mix th...

My 1995 Volvo 850 (USA) has about 145,000 miles on it now and the cooling fan won't kick on, so when I idle for longer than 5 minutes the coolant boils over and I have to refill it (with 50/50 coolant/water mix of course). The engine temp gauge dips back down when I drive again. With some research o...
