Alternator housing wire (blue-brown)
2 small Blue-brown wires are connected to the alternator's housing. 1 Goes together with a blue-white wire from the cabin to a connector that's not being used behind the front left mist light. Another one goes to somewhere inside the cabin. What's the use of these blue-brown wires? (This is a Volvo ...

If the problem is noise, a condenser could be added. It will absorb the spikes. If the resistance of a bulb would stay the same, a rise from 12v to 14v (16%), will cause the rating to up with 35%. I did a small test and fiound that it actually raises by about 25%, because of the increased resistance...

14V Headlights?
Are there headlights on the market that can take 14volt constantly?

these cars come with a standardized cabletree. Premade to hook up optional parts later on. Like airco, frontlight wipers, electric windows..
the socket near the windscreen ist just the result of using 1 plastic mold for all of their ignition coils. there is no actual electronic in it for those pins.

which wire is for ECU standby
I am going to build in a switch to cut power from the car right at where the 2 big red wires come from the engineroom into the interior. Where does the ECU gets its power from to maintain its "memory"? Does it get current via those main red wires? Is it dangerous to give the ecu 12v for its standby ...

uhm, sorry for my late reaction. Thanks for your answers. The lever starts pulling the cable after 1 cm lifting it (absolutely no force required), then it moves stiff regularly throughout the range. I will do some research into those brake cables. Is is harmfull to the gearbox that I regularly put i...

can handbrake lever be made smoother?
the handbrake lever requires quite much force, I don't know if this is normal or wear, anyway can I make this go smoother? I have back problems, so it's hard to put the hb on. I wish it could be like the v40 handbrake

Hmm I feel a bit stupid now: I just found that the wire going to the engine temp sensor is damaged. I'm new to this kind of work, I never paid attention to this "earthing wire", because it looked like 1 bare wire. Now I see that this wire actually used to have a plastic tube around it but that had s...

460 B20F no start
It will crank fine, but doesn't start. Dash light comes on okay and the fuel pump works. There's no spark, I checked the ignition coil power supply and it gets no volts. I thought maybe the last 10cm of the wire going to the coil is broken, but could it be because the problem didn't appear suddenly....
