Cables Volvo PV 544 (B16)

Cracking insulation, green oxidized joints and play in the bulb sockets are among the most common headaches when the original wiring on a 544 with B16 engine starts to show its age. On these cars (1958–1961) there is a 6-volt system, where every poor contact resistance is felt directly in weaker lights and sluggish starting – the switch to 12 volts only came with the B18 in 1961.
