There is a "switch' kit, but that isn't your problem .... 200 1986

There is a replacement switch it, if you're having electrical problems (e.g., a false warning from a lit warning light) -- the kit is Volvo p/n 272702-2 ($36.23).

However, this will *not* stop a fluid leak. The leak will continue to flood through the new switch and leak out, because the gasket around the switch is not meant to hold back brake line pressure, only dirt and water to keep the switch clean.

Frankly, I wouldn't bother rebuilding the junction box just for new seals -- it's too much trouble. Just buy a new box.
