95 wagon 2.3 turbo 850

Post by Jeffkindelspire »

I've committed myself to a disabled friends 95 wagon 850 turbo. It was hot wired and the entire ignition switch, housing and wiring hacked to death. The ignition key housing destroyed, alternator rectifier burnt out.
Headlight relays under dash gone, cooling fan relay is good, fan dont work.
I've replaced the alternator with volvo 100 amp Bosch off ebay.
Thermostat today and flushed block out.
Turn signals headlights a/c and heater not operating.
Car has 160k, dealer service till 40k.
I have it running, but the cooling fan I hope to find tomorrow with an ignition housing, ect for the column.
My next step includes the turn signal, headlight and blower motor all fail.
Any testing, procedures with any of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
