Re-upping previous post- XC90 No start

Old post but...

Is there anything one can do "preventively"?

1. Relocate it to inside the car?

2. Clean the connectors and somehow seal it tight?

PS: According to another DIY (see the excellent link below)...

Volvo PN 30742823 ($280) = Bosch 0 580 001 002 = Ford 4N5T-9C105-AG (cheaper than Volvo pricing)

Finally I have some time to remove the FPM for inspection.

1. RR wheel removed, car on jack stand/floor jack etc.

2. Remove 10-mm plastic nut and folded liner over (I used the RR door to jam it out of the way).

3. Some fine sand particles around connector but no corrosion. So after 9-10 years in Nebraska, not bad at all considering that this State uses mostly sand > salt in the winter.

4. I cleaned all sand particles, apply a tiny smear of grease to keep corrosion out, buttoned everything back together.
