Car Forum / Volvo Cars / December 2005245 tailgate wiring
Does anybody have any recommendations on how to fix the wires that run through the hinges of the wagons? The insulation has broken on one of mine and the conductor is showing. There doesn't seem to be enough loose wire just to splice it so I'll need some new stuff. How do you get access to the inside of the hinges? Is there a special wire to use that will resist the continuous flexing? Thanks, Dave Dave, http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?CategoryID=110&NodeID=865&RootID=629 Did this a decade ago with my 245... a snap, once I got the headliner out... which was *way* more straightforward (and idiot-proof) than I thought at first!!! Great instructions included... you'll need someone to help with taking the tailgate off/onto the hinges; otherwise, a reasonable job in 1.5hrs...

The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American. > Either IPD or Volvo to purchase the tailgate harnesses also check the > hinges some have a ground wire that brakes between the 2 halves > you have to support the tailgate because you have to remove the hinge to > perform this repair To add to this, mark the position of the hinges with either dry erase marker or masking tape before you remove them, makes it a lot easier to line them up. Also very slowly move the tailgate through it's range of motion after tightening the bolts to make sure the surfaces don't scrape and damage the paint. > Does anybody have any recommendations on how to fix the wires that run > through the hinges of the wagons?
