Thanks, I am getting with Art to look closer at the cause. The ground seemed a good connection, the question I am wondering is did a short cause the break in the board and subsequent melting? Or vice versa, did the break cause the short? BTW Aftermarket ... from Lamps and Lenses.

All seemed fine four about 4 months. Then, I started to get the dreaded bulb failure warning light. Upon investigating I notice that the passenger position light was not working. Initially hoping it was a bad bulb, I switched it out and found it was not the bulb. I searched some more and found that the passenger brake light has a melted spot on the printed circuit. Whatever could cause this? I am planning on getting a new printed circuit and start again. Other thoughts are apprciated as usual. I don't get to the internet everyday so if I don't respond right away don't be offended.

The battery would have been draining while doing duty for the alternator and eventually your car would stop running. For more info try this link: http://www.misterfixit.com/alterntr.htm You mentioned the loose belt. If that was the cause, and not a bad alternator, you should be able to tighten the belt, jump start it and be good. -- Happy Motoring! 93' 244 and 2002 S60'''''%%%% ' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1368465&rss=1 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:16 GMT Photos?

I had nightmares of it costing $100 +, when the shop says "time and material" ... I tremble. But I guess they reach for the torches first.

I was glad to see they were shot (nothing worse than spending time replacing good parts) but kinda apprehensive that the rusted in bushings may cost me an arm and a leg to remove. Any thoughts on typical costs/ shop time for this? -- Happy Motoring! 93' 244 and 2002 S60 http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1363918&rss=1 Tue, 4 Aug 2009 19:10 GMT Paul, Thanks for the warning; The kit does not come with strut mounts.

I was chasing air leaks, because I did not show symptoms of bad FPR and I had checked the voltage on the AMM. I had one time code of 2-3-2 after I replaced the seals on the fuel injectors, but that disappeared after resetting. My biggest symptom was trouble with cold start and low rev stuttering.(starting from stops) At cruise and highway speeds it was fine. When I switched with Art Benstein's good AMM it ran great. My AMM in his car ran like garbage. I stuck my bad AMM back in my car and it started and compensated/ adjusted back to stuttering from stops and running fine at cruise and Highway speeds. Drove home all fine. The next day, it wouldn't start at all! I went to a pick n pull and found about 5 AMM's that were 016's. I chose two from cars that were smashed rather than cars with good bodies. The rationale was a car with a good body must have been running bad for someone to part with it. I paid $43 a piece with no gaurantees from the pick n pull. I got home, they both worked great. Luck I guess. Anyway the ones on e-bay were $50 and up and more with shipping. I took the gamble. But like I said, If you got another Volvo enthusiast down there that can run another 016 AMM on your car to see if that is what is causing your symptoms, you don't have to roll the dice.

Sure sounds like what I had going on with mine. I picked up two 016's that both worked fine and now have a spare. If you are in a pinch I would mail it to you for what I paid, plus postage. But then you are paying to swap what "may" be the problem. It would be great if you could swap out with someone down in gator country to see if that is what it is. Let me know if I can help.

I tried yesterday but I think I need to undo the fan's belt ... all the air from the fan seems to blow any propane away. Is there a home brew method for smoke tests? I checked the AMM with an Ohmmeter and found it to be in spec. Also witnessed the burn off mode occuring (saw voltage after shutting engine off0. I took off the AMM and cleaned the two outer screens, they were sort of dirty.

The rubber seal was good also. In fact, when I pulled the check valve out there was a rush of air as the vacuum was being held. I'll look at the FPR but that sounds the opposite of my symptoms and the when I looked at plugs the other day they had a beautiful light tan to them, not the dark and moist that one would expect from a failed FPR. -- Happy Motoring! 93' 244 and 2002 S60 http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1355798&rss=1 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:25 GMT Thanks, I'll double check that. The last time I checked it only blew in one direction, I'll have a closer look at the seal also. -- Happy Motoring! 93' 244 and 2002 S60 http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1355513&rss=1 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 20:07 GMT I have my check engine light on and I've been getting codes that say too lean/rich. I failed emissions the last time I went reading too lean (NOx). I've replaced vacuum hoses, cleaned throttle body, changed injector seals, changed air filter, cleaned and checked the bellows from the AMM up to the throttle body for leaks. I checked the throttle position switch. After I cleaned the throttle body I checked the two vacuum inlets inlets just before the throttle body (from the canister down by the left front wheel) and did not get much suction ... is that normal? Also it will stall out when I first start it the morning and will stall agin when I first shift into gear. Also if I pump the brakes the idle will go erratic, stumbling ...

The S60 eats these for breakfast, so I buy them two at a time. I can't get this bulb at the local parts store, it is a stealer item, about $2.50 each. The odd thing is it seems intermittent. The warning comes on then goes off. Maybe after two weeks the bulb finally goes kaput. The dealer says he sees this all the time. It is a Volvo design issue to be sure. -- Happy Motoring! 93' 244 and 2002 S60 http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1351908&rss=1 Wed, 3 Jun 2009 12:41 GMT I have an outer CV boot that is torn. Passenger side. Having never tackled one of these before, how involved is it? Any special tools required? I've dropped a tranny and done the timing belt on a 240, so I have some skills. Any input would be great. I read some older 850 posts where it was suggested to swap the whole axle with it. Probable route I am going to take.
