Ask the question in your cars sub forum. This is for general volvo chat. You need a specific answer about specific wires in a specific series car.

I moved your post (here) where it's supposed to be.

You may need to post a picture for someone to figure out what you're asking or if maybe they were added aftermarket.

Can you post a pic? Also this is the 850 forum, so you do have an 850?

Antman, you need to give more details about the car and the wires. More than likely it's some after market add on that no one will be able to help you with. Disconnect the wires and see if something stops working.

If you hit the "New Reply" you will get a reply box that has more features under it. One is "Manage Attachments". That's where you can go to where ever you have the photo on your computer or satellite media and and attach it to your reply.

If you're going to the reply box at the bottom of the thread you need to hit the "Go Advanced" button to get to those added functions.
