Trying to put fog lamps in I know where the relays go but not sure where the plug is on dash LOL and it's a 95 850. Do I focus on the left side of steering and will it be marked in English.

The plug for the switch? It should be the one directly to the right of the headlight knob.

Thank you! The new orbital polisher has already paid for itself I think!

Haha, if I could afford to buy another car I would! I'm currently trying to unload the 740 to fund finishing up the R.

Turned a $500.00 Mechanics Special, a 2003 S40 with 110,000 miles, into a running car with $130.00 worth of parts and a $145.00 tow. Slipped timing belt, it slipped just enough to create a crank but no start condition but, no interference damage.

Root cause. the tab on the tensioner broke and the tensioner moved .. this is why one should check the timing belt tension periodically. Snapped belts are not the only thing that can go wrong. Catching a problem early can save a engine.
