OU812 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I have a 98 Volvo N 14 , 10 speed. 670,00 miles, When attempting to start, with the key. ( I let the lights come on and don't crank until the seat belt light goes off) No dash lights I get nothing, then back off, second try I get dash lights, ( voltage is 12.8 volts) a click and ECM, and dash lights go out. Back off, third or forth try starter engages and engine start up as usual. Battery's are 6 mouths old ( charging at !3.8 when running) and clean. I have replaced the starter relay, and the electrical connection at the bottom of key switch. The electrical system is all original, only add on is a trailer brake controller. No orders (smell of something hot), checked for loose connections, all over. Truck runs fine, and intersegments are normal when running. Has any one had a simmer experience whit their truck? No I'm not next to a repair shop...but I know that I could get to one,.. in a few 100 miles. (Volvo). I' thinking of a starter going bad...?? Is there something I should be looking at ?? I think I have covered everything that I attempted and the systems. Any in put is appreciated Thank you OU812 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2007 Volvo 670 and I can turn key and display goes blank, but no sounds of it trying to turn over... Or do I have a ton of dead batteries instead?
