That darned leaky grommet ... or darned cat! .... 200

... the engine control wire harness bundle passes through under the glove box, that is without gloves.

Sikaflex? I believe that grommet to be seated, yet drip, leak, and sadly weep in the rainy times.

What would you do in the feace of a leaky engine control wire harness grommet?

Anyone want to go get an ale at a snobby craft brewery? So we can be snobs, also. And elitists with our owld not so wobbly Volvo autos.

Thanks,

You sure it's the harness grommet??





The wiper grommet gets a waterfall from inside the cowl when it is raining; the harness grommet is under the hood.

Hiya Uncle Art,

Thank you. Yes, the rotating wiper shaft spindle thingy leaks. I've been meaning to replace a blow motor and have a new VDO blower motor awaiting install.

I had a no start some month ago, in the rain, and tugged on the wire harness that passes through the passenger side firewall bulkhead plate, dislodging the tapered grommet. I thought seated the thing as viewed from under the glovebox and in the engine bay.

Got it to work again as a connector separated.

The bulkhead plate gasket appears okay.

Else, more diabeetus, less cheesecake and fruit pies.

Thank you! Hope all is aces with your 240 armada defending earth from those krazy kingons and romulans!

Henry's roof sealant.
Black silicone sealant.
Do the grommet groove and around the cable.
