Was on a date, left the car slightly on while the window defrost was going. Battery died, got a jumped, and radio said "code"...but i dont know my code...any help please.
There is a 4 digit security code that needs to be entered into the radio. Look in your owners manual, it may be written in the book or there may be a card in the booklet that has the code. If you find it, enter it once, if it doesn't work, stop, because entering the wrong code will lock up the radio. You will need to go to the dealer to get the code if you cannot find it. http://repairpal.com/volvo-850-1994/common_problems

With all fuses & relays in place, I disconnected the wires going to the negative post and placed my ammeter between them. I found 180 mA being drawn. As I pulled fuses one by one, I found fuse #15 (audio system, courtesy lights, door open light, trunk light, glove box, remote control central locking, oil level sensor, seat belt reminder, data link connector) once removed dropped the current down to 60 mA (a 120 mA reduction). Placing fuse #15 back in, I found (oddly) that when I opened any one of the four doors, the current dropped to zero. Looking at what schematics I have, I removed the overhead console since it showed some 'door switches'. But nothing changed. I pulled all the relays that I could find, (those adjoining the fuse box under the hood, and those relays under the left dash). Nothing I did would pinpoint the problem. Open door(s) no current, closed door(s) = 180 mA. Any suggestions or advice is most welcomed. Thanks for your time.

My volvo 850 transmition cut out on me. For a while the arrow on the dash was blinking and it would switch to limp mode. I brought it in to be looked at and they didn't find a problem. Last time it happened the car slipped out of gear and didn't move at all. I had to stop the car and wait a few seconds then start up again. After that, everytime I came to a stop I had to stop the car and restart. What's going on??

Looking for info, diagrams, dissasembly, etc, on a Paris-Rhone alternator model A13N Not sure, but I think it's off of a Volvo circa 1965
