I am making my way through the zero mile maintenance on my new-to-me '88. I was thinking of doing some preventative maintenance to the electrical system, and would like some suggestions in case I miss anything. I'd like to have a list of items that I will make part of my 60,000 mile maintenance. So far this is what I have done/will do:

1. Clean up grounding points shown in Bentley manual
2. Resolder FPR
3. New alternator brushes
4. New plug & coil wires
5. Inspect & clean battery & alternator cables
6. Replace fuses with glass & clean up terminals

I've got an M47 so I don't need to worry about the OD relay.

Is there anything else I'm missing that you would suggest I check out? Any other relays to resolder or connections to check out? I'm especially interested in things that would leave me stranded on the road, or cause a no-start condition. You know, the common Volvo electrical gremlins....
