Wiring Harness Installation - 2004 Volvo XC90 - Video

What we are going to is a module light install on a Volvo XC90 2004 model. What we have done so far is taken out the interior pieces, got down to the battery with the jack storage compartment, and then we actually took out this panel here to get access to the wiring for the lights. Well have to do our splicing within this wiring bundle here. We used the light tester to figure which colors are what in fact in this case all the turn signals, the brake and running lights all happen to be green. Take care when testing, do one at a time complete your circuit and move on to the next one. more

Wiring Harness Installation - 2003 Volvo S40 - Video

To begin with, all the wiring is in the trunk of the vehicle. Well get into our trunk, take out a couple of the panels in the bottom threshold, and we can see our wiring from there. We have to take out our panels here, you can see the little rivet here that twists a little bit and pops right out. Theres one on each side here and here, which we have to take off too. Once we have our panel out of the way, we have all of our wiring exposed to the drivers side tail light and we also have a nice ground here we can use. Well take apart the other side to get to our wiring, then well test for signals. What weve done here is use a piece of angled iron you can use whatever you want to hold this out of the way. Well test for the running lights to see what wire it is, and what well do on this one is well pull out the socket assembly like so, and as you can see we have our running light on. Well test at these points here to see which wire is what. This wire here is our running light circuit. more
