I was just out familiarizing myself with those things I haven't seen in the month I've owned my 850, and came across something: between the battery and headlight area on the driver's side is a disconnected electrical clip. If you look at the attached image, just above and to the left are three metal tabs, any one of which fit nicely into the slot on this electrical...something. Anyone know what this is?
The only electrical thing I'm aware of that's not working on the car are the upper cab lights that should come on when I open the doors. The only light that comes on is the one somewhere around the break pedal. Might this be that? If you can answer that one...which slot should I slide it onto? I thank you in advance...http://www.flickr.com/photos/jadinamo/7163223243/sizes/h/in/photostream/

    On some 850 they have headlight wipers. The connection could be for them..

    Do you have driving lights? Side marker lights? A security system? A CD player in the glove compartment?

    Here and there you will find wiring for extras that you do not have.

      There ya go. That makes sense. Thanks. It's just a little unsettling, wondering if someone knocked something loose pulling out a battery. If I find time, I might just go through that Volvo wiring download and see if I can trace it.
