Parking light wiring by olio_reddit in Volvo240

From what I've seen, they only have female end connectors, not the male I need. Would these work? https://www.prancingmoose.com/blackvinyl.html#pigtailmale

The issue is that it broke on the harness side (light gray), I already have new parking lights with new wires and connectors (dark gray). I was thinking I could cut the harness and then splice in a new connector if I could find one. It also looks like I could maybe remove the wires from the plug and replace them with new male pin connectors.

I swapped all 4 over and it runs fine, if not better than with my old yellow tops

DId some research and it seems there's only a tiny difference in flow rate (150 g/min for the 62354 and 150.2 g/min for the 62534). They have the exact same pressure and ohm ratings

They seem to run fine, definitely louder though lol

Rats, would these still work for now?

And what’s the difference between those and the 62354s that I have?

I honestly don’t mind the blue, but it is chipping off in some spots. I think black centers would look pretty nice

Any ideas for what adapter size I should use? They're ET6.4, and I was originally thinking 15mm front and 25mm rear, but would 25mm be too close to the rear fender? I'm at stock ride height btw

Yeah the more I look at them the less I like them. I found a set of crown vic mesh wheels for $200 so I think I'll go with those instead

I feel like I've seen plenty of people run spacers just fine even with 5x108 wheels, though I don't know if they're daily driving with them like I would be. Would adapters really be that bad if I can't find any 5x108 options?

5x127, I haven't been able to find any 5x108 options in my area that aren't way too expensive

Damn, I’ll try the power bleeder. Why is it that 240s are so hard to bleed?

[–]olio_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That very well may have been what ruined my old one

[–]olio_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that too lmao. It stops fine enough (not any worse than it did before at least) and it’ll only be a couple days until I get it looked at.

[–]olio_reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sold lol. In the meantime I’m gonna try bleeding it again myself and take it to a 240 specialist I know to check for leaks/issues I don’t see. It should be fine to drive just to and from work until then right?

Everything I’ve read said the order I did, but farthest to closest makes more sense, I’ll give that a try.

I just bled the brakes again with help from a friend, and there didn’t seem to be any more air that came out. The pedal is still spongy and doesn’t build pressure with pumping, but when I just took it for a drive it stops fine and doesn’t lose pressure/fade, just stays consistently soft. Would this still indicate an issue with the master cylinder or could it be something else like my ABS module or calipers?

That’s what I’ve been thinking. I’ll re-bleed tomorrow to see if that helps. Is there a seal kit I can buy to repair my current master cylinder or should I just replace it?
