When my daughter's 1995 940se stalled on the way to school this morning, I figured it would be a piece of cake to track down the errant fuse or relay and get the car back on the road. It only has 90,000 miles on it. Well, after 2 hours of checking fuses and relays and grounds, and numerous searches on this forum - nothing worked. I swallowed my pride and had it towed to my local Volvo independent. Turns out the front seal was leaking oil onto the timing belt and it became oil saturated and broke! The belt only had 25m miles on it. $400 later it's fixed and I've learned something new. Thought this was worth passing on to the rwd forum.
Thanks for all of your help with both my 940's!!
