My son just bought a used 850 Volvo and it's having starting problems. Battery is good but it won't turn over. I'm trying to find out if there is a separate starter relay other than the solenoid on the starter. If there is could someone tell me the location of that relay, I'll try replacing that first.

Thanks!

 

I could not find starter relay in my manual. I'll provide starter circuit diagram FYR. Wait for others' replies. It may well be the starter itself, faulty PNP switch, faulty immobiliser, etc... My starter never failed so I cannot comment on diagnostic/replacement procedure.

Thank you very much, the diagram is really helpful, I appreciate you responding. I'll post when I find out what the problem is.

Thanks again!

Hi Dave,

I'm sorry I couldn't help you better, I wish I could.

If you would, please let us know what you find out. And feel free to ask as many questions as you need.

Do you have power to the small wire at the starter?

 

tech, do you test for power on the small wire with the + lead on the voltmeter and - lead to ground?

 

I am having the same problem on my 92 940! went to the bone yard and got all kinds of relays, but know that the white one is for fuel. Help!
