Ignition switch? I drove my friends Volvo S60R and if you go over 130mph the sunroof pops open, lol.

LAWL!

Ignition switch is viable. I know mine is going on the e28, but there to diag/start it I just go to the data connector and bridge #15 and #11.

I'm just in the position where I don't wanna throw parts at the problem, but I have no clue when it comes to Swedish turds.

Exactly.

But seriously, I need advice with this one. I don't want to throw parts at it and spend her money needlessly.

my honda did this. Had to do with the ignition wiring because of a shitty alarm the PO put on.

So, my friends parents have a 2000 S40 1.9 turbo.

Sometimes it starts, sometimes is doesn't. You turn the key, nothing, shit lights up, maybe a click of relays, but no starter action. Do this several times, and eventually it will start.

My friend put a starter in it already.

WFT is going on here. Shifter is all the way in P, I also tried it in N and same problem.

Cleaned the battery terminals, no dice.

Did I mention I hate Volvos?

I've read shit about wiring harnesses, etc, but I just donno where to start. Hell, I don't even know where the starter is on this turd.

IDK how I got roped into this one, but I have to fix it now, and I need the sidework, so yeah, that's that.

Anyone have a clue?
