Thanks for the helpful replies! An embarrassingly simple follow up: how does the shifter console cover come off? Should it just pop off? I don't want to break any plastic.

In the meantime, I managed to crimp in a temporary splice from below. It did fix the problem. Thanks also to Art B's pictorial of the wiring down there and heads up on the bullet connector. It looked great on the outside, and I probably would have suspected the rusty solenoid instead and wasted some money.

Each time I have a problem with one of these unusual Volvo designs, I have to remind myself that it did work for nearly 20 years and 300k miles! I suppose the real wonder is how many things still work.

Best,
