To adjust the wiper linkage on a 1997 Volvo 850, first ensure the wipers are in the "off" position. Remove the plastic cover from the wiper motor and disconnect the wiper arms. Then, manually reposition the wiper linkage to ensure it sits correctly in its resting position. Finally, reattach the wiper arms, ensuring they are aligned properly, and test the wipers to confirm the adjustment is successful.

To reset the drive cycle on a Volvo 850, you typically need to disconnect the vehicle's battery for about 15 minutes. This action clears the engine control unit (ECU) memory and resets any learned parameters. After reconnecting the battery, drive the vehicle under various conditions (city and highway) to complete the drive cycle and allow the ECU to relearn the necessary data. Always consult the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your vehicle's model year.

To replace the thermostat housing on a 1994 Volvo 850, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Drain the coolant, then remove the hoses connected to the thermostat housing and unscrew the housing from the engine block. Replace the old housing with a new one, ensuring a proper seal with a new gasket, then reattach the hoses and refill the coolant. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to check for leaks.

To get the AC and heater knobs to light up on a 1996 Volvo 850, you typically need to check the bulb behind the knobs, as they often burn out over time. Remove the trim around the climate control panel to access the bulbs, then replace any burned-out bulbs with new ones. Additionally, ensure that the vehicle's interior lights are functioning properly; if they aren't, it could be a fuse issue. If the knobs still don't light up after replacing the bulbs, consider checking the wiring or connections for any issues.

If a rim is bent, it can sometimes be repaired, depending on the severity of the damage and the type of rim material. Mild bends can often be straightened by a professional, while severe bends or cracks may require replacement. However, driving on a bent rim can damage the tire and affect vehicle handling, so it's advisable to have both the rim and tire assessed by a professional. Always prioritize safety and consider replacing parts that are compromised.

If the horn and alarm horn on your 1997 Volvo 850 are not working, first check the fuse related to the horn system, as a blown fuse can cause both to fail. Additionally, inspect the horn relay and wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion. If those components are functioning, the issue may lie within the horn switch on the steering wheel or the alarm system itself. Testing these components with a multimeter can help pinpoint the problem.

If your 850 Volvo starts but then cuts out, it could be due to several issues. Common causes include a failing fuel pump, a clogged fuel filter, or problems with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or ignition coils. Additionally, a malfunctioning sensor, such as the mass airflow sensor or crankshaft position sensor, could disrupt the engine's operation. It's advisable to run a diagnostic check to pinpoint the exact issue.

The Volvo 850 estate, also known as the Volvo 850 wagon, has a maximum payload capacity of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 pounds (about 540 to 680 kilograms), depending on the specific model and configuration. This includes the weight of passengers and cargo. Always refer to the owner's manual or the vehicle's specifications for the precise capacity for your specific model.

In a Volvo 850, the fan speed control module is typically located behind the glove compartment. To access it, you may need to remove the glove compartment and its support bracket. The module is usually mounted on the blower motor housing or nearby, depending on the specific model year. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.

To reset the sunroof on a 1995 Volvo 850, first, close the sunroof completely. Then, press and hold the tilt button for about 10 seconds until the sunroof tilts up slightly. Next, press and hold the tilt button again until the sunroof closes completely. This process should reset the sunroof's limits and restore its functionality.

Your 1994 Volvo 850 might shut off while running due to several potential issues, such as a failing fuel pump, a clogged fuel filter, or problems with the ignition system like worn spark plugs or a faulty ignition coil. Additionally, issues with the engine's electrical system, such as a bad crankshaft position sensor or a weak battery, could also cause stalling. It’s advisable to have a mechanic diagnose the vehicle to pinpoint the exact cause. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues from occurring.

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor on a 1997 Volvo 850 GLT is located in the intake manifold, typically near the air intake hose or the throttle body. It is usually mounted directly in the manifold or in a connector on the air intake duct. To access it, you may need to remove the air intake hose or cover to reach the sensor.

To reassemble the cigarette lighter on a 1994 Volvo 850, first ensure that the lighter element is intact and not damaged. Insert the lighter assembly into the socket, aligning it correctly with the spring mechanism. Push it in firmly until it clicks into place, ensuring the electrical connections are secure. Finally, test the lighter by pressing it in; it should pop out when heated.

You can find a vacuum line routing diagram for a 1994 Volvo 850 in the vehicle's service manual, which is often available online through resources like Volvo forums or automotive repair websites. Additionally, websites such as Volvo enthusiast clubs, online parts retailers, or community-driven platforms like YouTube may have visual guides or diagrams.

The issue may be due to a fuel or ignition problem, such as a clogged fuel filter, faulty spark plugs, or a malfunctioning fuel injector. It's recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and repair the issue properly.

This is actually a trick question. There is NO High Pressure Port on the Volvo 850 Turbo. Service is done by connecting to the Low Pressure Side and using this access to both Evacuate and Service. Chrysler for a few years did not use a High Pressure Port and required connecting a Scan Tool to the OBDII Connector and taking readings this way but Volvo does not even offer this option. Todd

I don't know how to de-activate the entire alarm system, but disconnecting the speaker (so that the alarm is silent) is easy. Simply lift the hood and identify the speakers at the very back (if I remember correctly, each looks kind of like a tuba; you can't miss them). Somewhere very close to them is a plug. Unplug it and the alarm will no longer sound. The car will still go into anti-theft mode by blinking lights and refusing to start until you lock the doors; you just won't hear anything.

its a 4 digit code to enable radio operation,best bet is to pull radio out and get serial number from sticker on top of radio and call Volvo dealer with radio model # sc-815 or sc-816 and serial number and they can run thru computer and get your code

To start, the Ignition key must be in position II, engine not running. Locate the two diagnostic sockets just inboard of the washer fill cap. The "A" connector (shown above) has a jumper that is stored in the lid of the "A" diagnostic connector. The jumper is used for both diagnostic connectors. Listed below is the information retrievable from the various connections. A1 Transmission B1 Climate Control A2 Fuel System B2 Cruise Control A3 ABS B5 SRS A5 TCU (Transmission Control) B6 Power Seat A6 Ignition System A7 Combined Instrument Normally "Check Engine Light" information will be found in A2. Put the jumper into A2 and push the black button for one second. Count the red LED light as it blinks back information, blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, is an example of the response you would receive. 2-3-2 would be the code retrieved, now push the button again for one second, again count the blinks, keep checking for codes until one of them repeats, this means you have read all the codes. Now to clear the codes, push and hold the button for 6-7 seconds, release and as soon as the LED comes on push and hold the button for another 6-7 seconds. Now push the button for one second and read the codes again, you should get 1-1-1 (no faults). You Must Read All Codes before Clearing. Turn the ignition off and then start the car, the check engine light should be out. It is always a good idea to check for codes, clear them and then drive the vehicle to see if they return before replacing parts. The transmission can ask the check engine light to be turned on, so if you try clearing A2 codes and they wont go away try reading the transmission (A1), clear them , and then go back to A2.

After contacting a Volvo dealer, they recommended the Haynes series of manuals for the 850, each section details the codes and faults detected.
