any idea of what the linkage on the throttle body 900

Doesn't take much oxidization of aluminum alloy terminal connectors to spoil old grounds. For ground connections, consider using DeoxIT D-series grease or Ox-Gard (found in hardware store electrical supply sections) on the cleaned up mating surfaces for improved contact and long term protection. For non-ground connections, copper and multi-terminal connectors, use non-conducting dielectric silicone grease (like Permatex Sil-Glyde ignition grease). A Volvo Service Tech Advisory actually called for periodically cleaning and re-packing the female sockets of fuel injection system connectors with dielectric grease to keep out moisture (like the AMM, IAC, TPS, CPS and injector connectors, but not the O2 sensor connector), also sealing inside the rubber boots. I also wipe inside ignition wire boots, a) to keep out moisture and b) to make the boots easier to remove. Done properly, you can pretty much shoot water with a hose sprayer in the entire engine compartment and restart without a hiccup.
