Thanks Howard. I am actually researching that right now. You helped me with a couple of issues over the years and I appreciate your taking the time to share your knowledge.

Unfortunately, the crank seal sprung a major leak at highway speed last week. Although I don't think the motor was damaged I don't want to put any more money into this car as I know of other issues. ...

By the way, I did reseat the CEM as suggested by Willy, obviously that didn't resolve it, but it was worth a try.

No luck on the cargo mat, it is in the garage, so I know that isn't the issue [thumbup]. Yesterday I bench tested the wiper motor and it works, so that is two issues (in the rear) related to the...

Unfortunately I have to revive this thread. All was well, or well enough for a 15+ year old car. I was never able to resolve the low battery voltage warning light and I have just been living with...

I went FWD when my drive shaft and rear end were shot. I am in SW Florida so I have never looked back. It drives fine and considering your mileage I would recommend saving your $ for other issues...

Xfingers- The Xemodex rep said that he did not think it was the DIM as that is just displaying the message. He believed the message originates in the CEM. He sounded 85% confident and told me that...

Well, it was too good to be true. After 2 days of no message, the low battery voltage message has returned. I will try the idea provided by Xemodex. Anyone else have any ideas? The CEM is $600...

Well I finally spoke to Xemodex, they were very helpful but difficult to get ahold of tech support. Anyway, tech support suggested that the CEM might be on the fritz. He advised the do an overnight...

Well, I just disconnected the siren module and nothing has changed except I didn't get the alarm system service required message. After a minute or two (I will time it next time) I get the low...

Great idea to call Xemodex, I used their ETM and their help desk guy was a huge help. I will call them tomorrow. THe battery voltage does drop a little overnight but never enough to cause issues...

OK, I put the multimeter in series with the negative battery terminal and it measures 12.6volts. I am confused, as I expected zero or whatever the parasitic draw (if there is any). I had one lead on...

I found the trailer hitch plug, or what I assume is the trailer hitch plug. Nothing evident, no water, no staining, no corrosion. As far as the bolt, if I do need to take out the siren I was...

Thank you Willie. I will try to disconnect the siren this weekend and see what if anything happens. I don't mind replacing if it solves the issue, I just hate throwing parts at the car that doesn't...

What do you mean by pack the connector? If I completely disconnect the siren will that make an open circuit that is an issue? I haven't had the siren for a couple years and 15 year old Volvo's are...

I did check them around the battery and the positive under the hood as well as the B+ at the alternator. No corrosion, but the positive under the hood is a little dirty, but just dirty no corrosion....

It sat all day yesterday and had 12.4 volts this morning. Started right up and reads 14.1 at the battery with the only draw being the dome light for the rear hatch. After idling for about...

No tow hitch unless it is a factory option to have the wiring installed at the factory. I bought this new 15 years ago. No issue starting. It sat all day yesterday and had 12.4 volts this morning. ...

After sitting for 13-14 hours the battery reads 12.46 volts. I think the alternator and regulator (replaced as one unit) are ok because I was getting 14.1 volts at the battery with the engine...

Well I changed the alternator and the battery and I am still getting the low battery voltage message. I am not real happy. What else can cause me to be getting this LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE message?

Here is a video showing the process and results of the heat gun treatment on my 2001. She is turning 15 in 2 weeks and I figured she was due a little love. Prior to doing this I cleaned the plastic...

Yes to confirm, no load except the driver door being open. I actually have the exact part that Astro14 linked to already on order. It will go in this weekend. Does anyone know what the flashing...

At the battery while at idle I get 13.14 volts. Starts at 14.1 but drops steadily to 13.14

Sorry, updated to public.

https://vimeo.com/170952994I am having an issue with my alternator and or voltage regulator. They are on order and plan to replace them this weekend. I assume this issue is related but......
