Inspect the crimped butt connector
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the butt connector has been correctly crimped both crimping points should be uniformly compressed.
All cables should be crimped in place towards the center of the butt connector and not displaced towards the ends.
Pull the cables to ensure that none are loose.
