Well finally got this done. Waited for a warm(er) day, soldered up all the
connectors, which was more tedious than I had expected. Really glad I was able
to get the wiring up to the top of the engine bay it would have been a real

2009 XC90. Bought it only because I knew the seller and he had cared for it
meticulously. It needed rear wheel bearings, he didn't want to spend the money,
and he gave me a good deal.
It's been a good car overall. Comfortable, well made, pretty easy to work on
overall. It's a two wheel drive
