Wiring a trailer light converter? 850 1995

I'm putting a hitch on my 855t and also have a Drawtite taillight converter I'm moving over from another car.

Where do I find the wiring harness for the wagons taillights and does anyone know the color codes? I could get the codes from the Haynes manual I suppose but really don't know the best place to splice into the harness.

    Check the IPD catalog, i think Volvo uses a unique wiring structure and i am not sure if all convertors will work, there is one for Vovlo cars specifically i believe.

    is the other car a Volvo?

      No, the other car is a Nissan but comparing the modules look to have the identical part number. I'll check with IPD and the local U-Haul shop. BTW, the U-Haul shop is a Drawtite distributor and sells the same hitch and tounge as IPD for $60 less. IPD is $175 plus shipping, the local shop is around $118 including tax.

        Yes IPD is expensive but a good reference for parts and info.

        The same is trus with the Roof Racks Volvo price is double the price of the Same thing from Thule-Volvo OEM is made by them.

        Teh Thule goes right on with less $$.
