Troublesome fuse in drivers side engine bay . . . 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Fred on  Sat Apr 17 04:50 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I've had a lot of problems with my 1988 240 stalling on me, but only after it warms up and with a possible relationship with damp weather. It always starts again but then stalls after a few hundred feet. I took it to my mechanic today and while the engine was idling he jiggled a fuse (I think 20 amp) mounted right at the drivers side of the engine bay and the engine died. He then pulled the fuse and it and it's holder were quite corroded. He said it's a troublesome fuse in a bad spot and that he would move the fuse more to the protected inside of the bay. Make sense? I think that makes sense . . . why would Volvo mount this fuse at a vulnerable spot? Fred
