I would like to report a successful rewire and restart on the brick in question except for one wire! Since my green books are buried deep in storage, I can't find the termination for the center(black) wire on the throttle position switch. I appears to be a ground, but I don't want to take a chance on that.
As for the initial cause of the problem, the front clamp on the AMM hose is missing and the AMM mount was broken off. I did not find any way that the wiring could have made contact with the coupling bolt on the steering shaft unless a wiring support clamp came loose. I did not find one wrapped around the wiring harness so that is just conjecture. The wiring harness made contact about 16 inches from the AMM plug which suggests to me that the AMM might have fallen down first, although the car ran well(according to my wife) until it got back in this parking lot.
On an extremely bright note, the folks that manage these condos, and quite a few more, needed someone to take over the maintenance management of this building for next year and figured that if I could rewire the Volvo in 15 minutes, I could oversee contractors for renovations. How about that?!
Regards,
