Volvo Repair: Volvo 2002 S60 Auto Not Starting, fuse panel, starter relay


Question
Intermitant not starting, not even turning over, turn the key and all you can hear are a few clicks. After a few minutes of the same, suddenly it starts as if nothing is wrong, I have tried moving it in and out of park, foot on or off the brake, changed the position of the steering column, charged the battery and it makes no difference. Any ideas?

Answer
Steve, the battery in the key is possibly low and the key reader wont allow the car to start.  It may be a possible starter relay issue.  I would open the fuse panel  in the engine bay and swap the starter relay with the same relay on another circuit to at least test it.  If that is the issue, get a new relay.  If not, have a Volvo shop check the car out.
