Starting problem 2000 S40
Post by clp29445
< This evening I went out to start the car. I turned the ignition; nothing happened. There is little to no power available inside the cabin for lights, etc. I figured I must have left a light running inside the vehicle. Anyways, I used a battery charger on the battery for approximately 15 minutes then tried to start the car again. This time, I hear a fast-paced, repeated clicking noise when the ignition is turned on, which abruptly stops when I release the key. Also, the lights inside the cabin are again working normally. >
Instead of charging the battery I used jump-start cable. And still I got only clicking noise.
If starter is bad, how difficult to replace it and where it's located?
Thanks

The starter is located on the front of the car side of the engine.
It is kind of a pain to get to. You need to remove the intercooler hoses to get to it.
