Found a broken wire in tailgate hinge !!!!!!

This is probably the single most common problem that occurs on 240 wagons. To fix it, remove the rear dome light and handle, pull the rear edge of the headliner off the lip, then mark the position of the hinges with a dry erase marker and while two helpers hold the hatch, remove the gas shocks and then remove the two bolts from each side that hold the hinges to the roof. Set the tailgate on a padded surface and remove the hinges and upholstery panel. You should be able to pull the new wiring harnesses (available online) in with the old ones.

What you found is a broken ground wire the hinge is held on by 4 bolts or 3 bolts & a screw support the tailgate then remove the headliner just to gain access to the mounting hardware then do the same on the tailgate remove the mounting hardware you can attempt to repair the broken ground or you can just replace the hinge if you opt for replacement try your local Volvo dealer or IPD to see which has the better price Glenn

Thanks Much Guys!!!
