Hello again lads.

As I was cleaning the corrosion from my battery terminals today, I decided to revisit a little electrical mystery. There is a bundle of five small gauge wires that I traced from the battery area to a place down low on the drivers side of the engine compartment.

There is 1 red wire, 1 red/white, 1 blue, 1 white, and 1 black.

The black is affixed to the negative battery terminal. The white is connected to the drivers side hood latch mechanism. The red, R/W and the blue wires have inline fuses.

The red/white wire is connected the the positive battery terminal with a 30 amp inline fuse. The red wire has a 7.5 amp inline fuse and has evidently broken away from the positive terminal.

The remaining blue wire has a 10 amp inline fuse and has also broken away.

The '93 850 seems to run fine with no electrical issues.

I've had the car for about ten years, but I was speculating a previous owner may have had some custom audio equipment that was removed before I acquired it.

Anybody care to venture a guess about the mystery wires? Should I reconnect the two loose wires? What Volvo system would require a 30 amp inline fuse?

Thanks in advance...
