Loose connections (terminals)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For repair of wiring and terminals, see the appropriate Wiring Diagrams.
Loose connections in terminals may be caused by oxidation of the pins and sockets, or by a faulty connection of a cable to its cable terminal.
Loose connections produce the same faults as an intermittent open-circuit in a cable.
Checks:
- Inspect terminals visually according to Inspect terminals visually .
Continue according to Contact resistance and oxidation .
