Don't they have a way in the 98's to determine which switch/sensor is causing the alarm similar to the '99?
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

I know it’s the tailgate latch, it goes off after I open the tailgate when I unlock it with the key.
This tailgate harness if driving me nuts!

I think that’s normal function. The fob or the driver door disable the alarm, the trunk lid does not

bmdubya1198 wrote: 30 Mar 2018, 07:35 Had another good day yesterday at the junkyard. Initially I went for a couple relays, my cousin says "I'm probably not getting anything." Naturally we ended up coming home with a 19t and an S60R exhaust manifold, along with a larger intercooler (though I'm not sure the brand).
Same car he got his e-code jewels from as well as a Supersprint exhaust. I at least got an R steering wheel from it. I would have loved to get that car before it ended up there... black on black manual '99 C70 HPT coupe. The only thing that would have made it better was if it was a non-sunroof '98. Fortunately between me and my cousin we bought up all the valuables!
did you grab the ecu by chance, sounds like stage III with a 19t and exhaust/intercooler upgrades. What about the injectors?
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)

It's ME7, so I did not grab the ECU. I don't know what's entailed in re-coding it to a different car.
It had blues, and I didn't grab them. I do plan on getting them next time if they're still there, though.

New coolant reservoir and sensor (bye coolant light) and tidied up the mess of dry rotted wire loom under the top cover. Timing belt job this coming week and hoping to hit 300,000 miles shortly.
