I recently put a CD player in my Volvo 940 myself and I'm a 50-yr-old woman so if I can do it so can you. The problem is, I'm trying to remember how I did it. I got the CD player from Crutchfield and they send along a kit and directions of how to install it, in any type of car you specify.
It seems like I had to take out the ashtray underneath the radio first and maybe I got to the screws from there. It's also possible that there were no screws but just clips and it pulled out once you disengage the clips.
I do also remember that in this model car there is some kind of speaker amp under the steering column that also had to be hooked up with the CD player.
******************************************
New ....There is a clip you can reach by removing the buttons out and slide a small screwdriver into the left side (in left button shaft) and into the right side (in right button shaft). These clips have a slot where the screwdriver can be slide in and move sideway towards the shaft. There are no screws to remove and is no need to remove anything else.
There are release clips behind the knobs of the volume and tuning. Just pull of the knobs and the clips will be toward the outside of the radio. pull them in towards the center and then the radio will slide out. The easiest way to pull the hooks is with two straightened coat hangars with little hooks on the end.
after you take out the radio you need to get an amp bypass lead take off the cover under the steering wheel look on top of the steering column and a small box this is you amp pull the lead from the amp leave the amp were it is ,now the lead you have taken off the amp push this into plug found on the long part of the amp bypass lead now you now have still two plugs on the bypass lead push this into the side were the radio is and pull the two plug out were the radio should be now connect the plugs from your new radio to the two plugs on the amp bypass lead fix it all up and enjoy , i have the Volvo 940 SE turbo.

850 Volvo will not crank at all?
Answering my own question here. After reading other info concerning the non-corrosion goop put on the terminals, I cleaned them off and the car fired right up, now I just need to get the code for the radio. 1. check to make sure you have enough battery power to crank engine. Turn lights on to bright then blow horn. If bright lights turn on and horn blows loud the battery is good. 2. check fuse box to see if there are any blown fuse, replace them with correct value. turn ignition key to on position if the dash lights do not light up the ignition switch may be bad. 3. make sure battery connection to the starter is good, if good check starter. jump starter directly. if starter does not turn then either starter may be bad or the engine may be locked up (seized up). 4. take a wrench and place on crank shaft bolt and turn engine. If engine will not turn you have engine problems. If engine turns then it is most likely the starter. remove starter and jump starter, it should spin. if not take to auto shop for them to est and most likely buy another starter. JQ

How do you replace the thermostat located on a 1992 Toyota Camry 6 cylinder?
The stat is located at the bottom of the top radiator hose within the water outlet. Evenly remove the 2-3 bolts holding the water outlet in place. Coolant will drain into a container you have placed underneath. No need to drain it down any lower than imeadiately below the stat opening. Look at the way the stat sits in place prior to removing it. Once you remove the stat, clean off any gasket residue. ( O-rings need no sealant if that is what you have)Install new stat in the same way old one was removed. If there was a gasket,( vs a O-ring) install a new one with gasket sealer of your choice. Tighnen bolts evenly and snugly but do not overtighten. Make sure the housing is going down evenly so you do not crack the housing. Fill with coolant and leave the rad cap off for 15 minutes to top off coolant and bleed off the air in system. Done. I hope this helps you. Mark

What are the signs of a bad fuel pump for a 1995 Volvo 850?
put rear seats down turn key to 2nd position and listen for the pump to prime if it doesn't prime or you are unsure what it sounds like get a friend to listen through your gas hatch with cap removed if there is no audible noise then pump is most likely dead. Junk yards are a great way to go i pulled mine and replaced it for $15 instead if going new at $400+
Why doesn't Volvo 850 odometer work?
Hi, You need to replace the odometer gear wheel. It is a tiny plastic gear with teeth that after years of use tends to break. It is a pain to change out but you can do it your self. Go on Ebay there is a seller that has some pretty good instructions for repacing the gear as well as price. Good luck, JQ
