Might have parasitic drain (when temps drop?) 850 1995

On Volvospeed there was instructions to remove the grill of an 850 if the hood release failed.

I practiced this technique so I could use it if I had that issue on one of our 3 850s.

I found that the job was much easier if all the clips were turned in one direction - I forget what direction.

Also, there is a certain location to drill a small hole to release your glove box door if the latch fails - this location can be found by inspection, and a small dot marked in the proper spot - this is a frequent problem in 850s.

I had a small electric drain in one of our 855s - it turned out to be the glove box light - removing the bulb did not cure the problem - I had to cut the wire and remove the light itself.
