Hi Dave,

I guess the 4-way connector you saw at PA is this one: https://www.princessauto.com/en/4-way-flat-trailer-end-connector-with-led-test-lights/product/PA0008635732

Dave Barton does not have that connector, I asked him already.

Yes, the Volvo p/n 9134962 https://www.skandix.de/a/1016645 would be the one that fits my car.

To be more precise, what I would need, it is not the kit but the connector and its pins:

Insulator: 968409
Pin(s): 968374

Easy to find in EU, hard to find in NA, although, the same connector is used on other Volvo models, like 740, 940, 960, 850 etc. in different areas.

Actually, no, not hard to find here, I just checked on the Volvo web store and found both:

https://parts.volvocars.ca/p/42881601/968409.html
https://parts.volvocars.ca/p/42888763/968374.html (pricey)

Now, you wrote that I'd definitely need a converter, however the Volvo original kit does not have a converter, it is just a cable. This leads me to think that the pre-wiring they did, is already taking care of all the loads issues.

I guess you are trying to tell me that if I go with the original connector, being unable to physically join two wires in one (where is needed), I will need the converter to do that electronically.
If this is correct, then yes, I need the converter, because I can use all the require input pins, and the converter will convert the signal to 4-way.

Am I right with the above consideration?

I know, I could be ready in 10 minutes by cutting the wires and solder, but I am a picky one :)

Thank you!
Alex
