Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 2005tailgate wiring
Hello I own an 83 245GL, all of the wiring in the tailgate is shot. I have been fixing it but I seem to be missing couple of wires on the right hand side. Does anybody know which wires go on the rhs?? I figured blue and yellow are for the solenoid of the power lock and grey and black for the windshield wiper. The wires for the windshield wiper are missing on the roof of the car, I guess somebody has modified the circuitry before. Does anybody know where these wires are coming from so I can fish them out? Do they come from the left hand side? Thanks, Marco. I think you're right about the wiper & lock power coming from the right side, see ipd's page for a discussion of the replacement parts: http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?CategoryID=110&NodeID=865&RootID=629 Replaced the harnesses in my '86 245 about a decade ago....easy job with the parts/instructions from ipd....worst part was being aggressive enough with the (very) stretchable roof-liner top get it out from around the corner-brackets that have it mounted up tight to the interior roof! Then you may be able to see the plug/ends of the harnesses you're attaching to...

Thanks for the answers, I have stretched the roof liner and found the wires for the power lock, but no wires for the windshield wiper. The connector(black and grey) that goes from the tailgate wiring harness is unplugged and I cannot find the other end. I need to figure out from which side of the car these wires are coming from. On my car there is a yellow blue wire(power lock) that goes under the roof liner from the lhs to the rhs into the hinge, so I assume the wiper wire should come from the same side. Any ideas on where I shall I look? Roof, lower lhs? Thanks again, Marco. > Thanks for the answers, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Thanks again, > Marco. The harness for all standard equipment (rear defroster, license plate lights, rear dome light and rear wiper) runs up the left pillar, across the roof to the right hinge. You should be able to find the harness at the dome light. The power lock wires are in a separate harness that runs parallel to the "standard" harness. SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont.
