Hi,
I see from your profile that you have been on the board quite a bit in the past. It says back to 2008. - 2014 and some posts recently. Welcome back.
I have heard of the ground screw issue before and I think I had a problem or issue at one time or another with something connected in or around the steering column. It could have been blinkers or an excessive needle jump of the speedometer when first turn on the key to position two.
Trouble is I don’t remember what it was exactly but I also found a screw loose near the location of the steering column. More like on the frame of the dash above the column.
I think it was one of those new TORX screw heads with a bunch of wires to be tightened under it.
On early 240s it could be behind the center console but the one I remember was a TORX head because you have to get out of the car and retrieve them.
Maybe they hadn’t come out with ratchet handles for extra power needed to squish the terminals enough yet in 1989.
Assembly lines get the new quirky stuff first to save time and money during assembling.
After that the tooling gets licensed or an exclusive right for that tool maker.
In the case of TORX’s vendors they might furnish the tool and a quantity of screws for free to get their formidable foot into many manufacturing doors!
Just another one of those subtle changes that were coming in the future of Volvo nineties cars
Thanks for taking the time to put it in front of us and the search engines.
The one on the BB with the tiny car uses GOOGLE a lot. It ends up showing BB posts.
How to phrase a question into what might be in a post is another topic all together … in any search engine.
