How to change starter on 1986 volvo gl, location and difficulty.

How difficult is it to change the starter on a 1986 Volvo GL? (i.e. does the alternator, belt, need to be taken off to get to the starter, etc...) Where is it located? And last but not least, how to change it. (Thank you:)

SOURCE: Need radio code for a 1993 Volvo 940 GL

there are other forums type volvo radio unlock into the search engine. One way has to do with emergency 6666 code. You can get the radio to come on for 5 mins. At least you can then know that you have a working radio and not a dead one. Used car owners frequently think it is a dead radio and pay to get it replaced!! Yes, you must prove ownership at the volvo dealer, but you can get the info for free (if they are good guys).

The belt goes to flywheel, radiator cooling fan and alternator. It does not go to a/c depending on what engine configuration.

Where is my cooling fan relay located on my 1992 Volvo 940 gl?

Cooling fan relays are usually located under the hood in the engine compartment in the black box with all of the fuses. On the under side of the box cover it will usually give a drawing of the fuses and relays and the position they hold in the box.

Engine wont crank

A mechanic would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch. Also the grounds between the engine and frame or body of the car.

The starter is located just below and behind the alternator and A/C compressor (if equipped)
1.Disconnect the battery
2.Disconnect the wires going to the starter from the starter.
3. Remove the 2 or 3 bolts holding the starter in with either a 12,13 or 14. (they change sizes and amounts through the years and models)
4. Pull the starter out and up.
5. Reverse for installation.
Hope this helps.

I'm having trouble locating the starter on my 1990 volvo 740 gl. where is it located and how do i replace it?

As you are facing the car, it is on your right hand side - low on the engine - toward the rear of the car. To remove, 1) remove the positive battery cable 2) jack the drivers side front of the car up 3) from above or below, remove all electrical connectors

Repair and maintaines for volvo 740 GL

Chilton or Haines publishes manuals for the 740. Of the two, the Haines offers more direct parts removal and replacement info. The Chilton has too much generic filler. Get either on Ebay for less than $20.

1989 volvo 740 gl. Put new starter in, now it

i cannot remember but i think there is a starter relay, its located in the engine bay the wire color is the same as its is on the starter motor, and feeds back to the relay, in the relay box in engine bay if this model dont have the relay as some models did not have it fitted and it was a straight from the ignition it can cross over on the ignition switch, and that would need to be replaced, or changed to button press, were by cutting the wire on the starter wire on the ignition and feeding it to a switch button.
