Looking for coil pack wiring harness 95 volvo 960

[jimsbiz]

I am trying to find a coil pack wiring harness for a 95 volvo 960

These wires really took a toll form the heat on top of the engine, cracks, some wire strands .

Also can someone tell me if differant year volvo harness will fit a 1995

I've done a little digging and can't see why the harness from '92 960 to the S/V90 in '98 couldn't be used. All the wiring colours are the same, the coils are the same and the wire lengths will be the same.

Who stocks them over there? I don't know but you could give Erie Vo-Vo a call. Their link is at the top of the forum. I have been told that it is better to telephone them as they are slow to answer emails.

Update
I have orderd the connectors that clip into the coil
I got them at the Volvo Dealership $1.25 ea Part# 9144275-6 socket housing
I had found the wires at eEuroparts.com $3.36 ea Part# 3523813
Took some time to redo wiring and put shrink tubeing around

I still would like to find some of that plastic that originaly went around just for extra precautions

Thanks for everyones help
Jim

Use a larger diameter heat shrink tubing but don't shrink it.

You should be able to find the split-loom stuff at any parts store. It's cheap and plentiful.
If you got an old/used replacement harness you might run into the same problem again in the future. It gets hot under there, and I've sometimes wondered if the harness should be re-soldered using the kevlar/teflon insulated stuff. It's impervious to heat.

I used it to make the new harness for my headlights in an old Chrysler. I got it from Hughes Aircraft, who uses it on their satellites (as in, the ones in space) so I figured it would be good enough for my car.

You can just about glow the wires red-hot and not burn the insulation.
