Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Replaced the MAF in the wagon after troubleshooting a million other things for random stalling. Me in my infinite knowledge decided that since the previous owner replaced the MAF 6 years ago (with receipts) SURELY that wasn't the issue.

Narrator: "It was the issue."

Runs great now.

Re: Electrical issues 850 T-5R

13.4v at battery terminals when engine is idling with headlights is too low. It should be 13.8-14.2v with headlights,heater blower on(but not max) and radio...at idle. B+ cable is the main culprit...but you will need to perform a voltage drop test when everything under the hood is warm....after 30m...

Re: Electrical issues 850 T-5R

Did a bit more digging on this and found this thread: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=93366 Looks like there could be a chance that the amp is bad. That is my next troubleshooting step to see if the voltage goes away with the amp out. I have been going back and forth on repl...

Re: Electrical issues 850 T-5R

IiRC, 7 is the switched power and there may be some other things on it. I’ll have a look when I get back to a bigger screen this weekend. I confirmed standing voltage on 7. Nothing connected and key out. Pulled the radio out and besides looking old, nothing was really exposed. I had a Ham radio ins...

Re: Electrical issues 850 T-5R

As far as the radio, is it stock? Have you been into the dash behind it and confirmed that the harness hasn’t been hacked up from this or previous audio systems? And which fuse is blowing? The radio has two - 7 & 32. Radio is stock. Only time there has been work done in that area was when I did...

Re: Electrical issues 850 T-5R

Your heading the right direction checking all power and ground cables between the battery, starter and alternator. There’s also a 10 gauge from the battery to the main fuse box to check both ends of. Another thing that may be an issue is the electrical part of the ignition switch. The way you descr...

Electrical issues 850 T-5R

Hello Everyone, I am looking into potential issues with my 1995 850 T-5R. I am having an issue where sometimes coming off the gas, the car will stall, dash lights up like a Christmas tree and then is hard to start. The other key part of this that may be related is that my radio will blow a fuse inst...
