I'm glad that you found the offending wires. Where would this site be if Volvo had used a bulletproof wiring harness?

Up by the fuse panel, look for a connector with red-grn-blk wires and disconnect. If you don't disconnect then you risk coming out to a flat battery. In the driver's side door check the wiring to the push-pull switch and the key switch for damage. May also be a switch itself. You can disable the defective switch while keeping the good one in operation. -- 1980 245 Canadian B21A with SU carb but electronic ignition and M46 trans in Brampton, Ont.

The wire used on those two switches is the same high-flex silicone-insulated wire used on the passthrough for the OD solenoid, the speed sender on the later cars, and the wagon tailgate harness. Probably more places I can't recall at the moment, like inside the crank position sender cable. It seems to disintegrate, just like the 80's engine harnesses, but maybe for a different reason. -- Art Benstein near Baltimore Birds are grouchy in the morning because their bills are over dew.

If your brick is a '83-'87 your engine harness is not the only wiring that is likely to have rotten insulation. I think your going to have pull the driver door panel. Yank out the door lock sys fuse or disconnect the battery neg terminal before reaching inside the door panel. You can get zapped pretty good messing with the lock actuator/switch harness. Using lots of electrical tape or splicing in a '88 or later switch from a junker has worked for me in the past.

I'd start with the drivers door and look for a wire showing through. Get some electrical tape and mend it.
