About Wiring Looms

The Volvo Wiring Loom is a set of wires strapped together designed to begin and terminate at specific points in the vehicle.The loom is rather like the London Underground Map with different coloured wires running from one point in the vehicle to another. During manufacture these looms are premade with the wires strapped together and shaped to run a certain route through the car's structure.The looms can be separate pieces that connect at junction points.

 

These looms run through channeling in the car body, under carpets behind roof lining and behind the car dashboard.These connect the electrical power required for the functioning of the engine, and all equipment requiring electrical power.

 

Faults can occur in the Volvo Wiring Loom due to short circuiting, over heating,fire damage or crash damage.

Volvo trivia

  • Volvo was the first manufacturer to install fog lights on the front and rear of their cars.
  • In their first year, Volvo manufactured a very impressive 1,383 vehicles; the Type-1 truck and the PV651. Only 327 of their vehicles were exported in that first year.
  • Although many of their inventions were released to the public, Volvo has been responsible for so many cutting-edge inventions in car manufacturing that they have had to build an entire company division to deal solely with patent infringement.
  • Volvo invented the lambda sond, which is a probe that senses oxygen. It is responsible for cutting down exhaust emissions by 90%, and has been called "the most significant breakthrough ever made in the control of vehicle exhaust emissions." Volvo waived the patent rights on this, and now almost every car on the planet has one installed.
  • To test the strength of their vehicles, Volvo puts them through rigorous tests, including using a machine in their Gothenburg lab that was designed to test how buildings cope in earthquakes.
