Volvo 850 Central Electrical Unit location

Post by blackb23 »

Hey guys, I have a '95 850 and the drivers side door light and chime come on when I go over a large bump and when I give it full throttle off the line.
I want to just pull the 212 relay out but have no idea where the central electrical unit is and have no idea how to get to it,
hope you guys can help me, or if you have a better idea, please let me know,

thanks

Have you looked under the dash against the firewall above the foot rest? There are several relays there. You will have to pull the lower dash panel.

It is where Robert describes it. The relay is typically blue and it has slots cut into the top of it. It is often difficult to read the number due to the slots.
