I have one, I changed the radio..i had a very hard time to get the wirring colors right..blew some fuses, end up with the light on the blower control knob constantly switched on..go figure it out.. i also melted the white cable behind the radio, didnt know what it was, i attached it to the back of the radio,it was alright until i turned on the lights...will help if you could tell me what your findings are question color code on the radio..thanks heaps.
@terrizille i have the same but sport model and chipped with some extra lil goodies and i got it for 2500 off my neighbor and motor was redone and has 30k miles. it puts a smile on my face when i put it in sport and stomp. volvos are a beautiful piece of swedish engineering
you need the blower motor resistor to control the speed of the blower motor, also for the radiator fan there is a small plug-in on top of where the rad fan is that is relatively easy to switch out so it will go automatically. That is going to be a big project car, but good luck!
