What started this mess? tailights, fog lights, brake lights....
The relay has nothing to do with the tail lights, but replacing the switch sounds like a good idea. There's a nut holding it in place, see http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/electrics/switches/switch-headlight/1027524/ to get an idea of the construction. And the price. This is not worth fiddling about unreliable workarounds...In addition, if fuses 15 and/or 16 burn frequently there might be a problem with the tail light cabling.Good luckIngo

Hi, I am installing a
Red is for constant power, yellow is for ignition power, blue is for an electric antenna, black is ground. The others are for the speakers. - 2blue, 2green, 2purples, 2whites. If you don't have an electric antenna , don't use the wire. Also if you extra wires for the vehicle this is common. don't use them. Hope this helps. Randy

Clunking noise up front on the left side when turning right
Your CV (constant velocity) joints are failing. Don't wait too long to fix this - if they break you stop. And it can potentially cause a lot more damage when it does break.
Talk to your local mechanic - they can fix this for 1/2 what the dealer wants for this job.

Car is operating off battery only
Check the main lead from the alternator back to the battery especially at the battery terminal where it may be corroded off. While the alternator may be good if there is a failed diode in the rectifier in the back of the alternator it will not charge as it will be producing ac current and you need dc to charge the battery.

It sounds like the most likely problem you are having is that one or both of your fuel pumps is worn, and needs replacing. There is one in the tank, which supplies fuel, and one hanging underneath the vehicle (rear drivers side) in a braket near the differential, which pressurizes the fuel system. Have a shop diagnose these before replacement. Also, make sure that the fuel filter is replaced, and check the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose for looseness or damage.

Flame Trap
A flame trap for what? Who said you need a flame trap? I think you are being BSd. If you own a Volvo then ask a Volvo mechanic.

How do I get battery
Check the bottom of the battery for a clip on each side that you have to unbolbt. From the top it will look like a piece of metal with a bolt head sticking through it.
And unless you buy a battery with the exact same deminsions you will have to modify the metal piece by cutting a slot instead of a hole to be able to use them with the new battery.
