Dash back together and onto the Alternator.
Found this. Volvo used rubber isolators on the pivot mounts of the alternator. (Why? Any possible reason for that eludes me) and that necessitates a ground from the alternator to the rest of the vehicle.
This is that ground. Or was that ground. Explains why the sudden loss of charging at least.
And of course a couple of studs broke. And at least they didn't break off flush, that would be too easy to weld to. Yep, recessed 3/16 or so.
And three or four cracks to go with the broken studs. Yippee. Apparently this place repairs them for $100ish. https://yoshifab.com/store/90-exhaus...k-service.html
