Hi Klaus--finally got jump started this morning with a cup of nuked instant coffee, and then went out with my paper clip and jumpered 15 and 87. Wouldn't start initially, but I let it grind a bit and the rpms started to slowly come up and then it finally took off! What a relief!

I have only one other question--can I drive thirty or forty miles or so to my friendly Volvo dealer (or a junkyard) with the relay removed and only jumpered between the two terminals? I don't know what role terminals 31 and31b play.

Thanks again to all you BrickBoard enthusiasts out there who posted in response to my crisis! What a wonderful group of people! Dick
