hi. i have a 93 240 wagon with a badly corroded/melted battery terminal fuse block and my car will not start without much shaking, tapping, and/or finageling of this dumb part. the bottom of this thing is just an ugly mess, but the wire leading to the ign fuse seems the most effected. i understand that this four fuse holder is unique to my year 240 and is not replaceable- which leads me to my questions: why did the put it on this model in the first place, and can i safely bypass it altogether? if not, what am i supposed to do about replacing it since its no longer made and few- if any- junkyards seem to have one? seriously, the guy from the volvo salvage yard in sacramento laughed at me when i asked him about this part. i've done lots of work on my car, but never attempted something like this and wouldn't even know where to start. help!

Are those fuses or relays? From the looks of it if they are fuses you could make another one without much difficulty. You could try Voluparts. They have a website but you might need to call the or E-mail them a picture of what you need. I have not seen that part anywhere in my searches.

its part number 9131785, unavailable for a number of year now. thanks for the heads-up on that site. i emailed them, we'll see what happens. i'm prob going to just use marine fuse holders to which is going to look yucky but hey, at least my wagon will get moving again.

looks like they can still get it for you if you want to keep it factory. Good luck.
