have a friend with a 99 v70 (automatic tranny). she says all her electrical stuff (radio/lights) works... but she doesnt even hear a click when she goes to start it.
i told her the usual suspects included these:
bad starter, unlikely.
bad starter solenoid, slightly likely.
bad wiring to starter, highly likely.
bad fuse, highly likely.
bad starter relay, likely.
bad PNP/neutral safety switch, slightly likely.
bad ignition switch, unlikely.
immobilizer/antenna ring antitheft thingy, highly likely.
am i missing anything (i only know 240's)???
i recommended she check the fuse and try shifting the gear selector to neutral, attempt starting, then back to park and re-try.... figuring these are the 2 easiest things to check/try.
does anyone know what fuse the starter is on and where the starter relay might be found?
or any other suggestions???
only other thing that comes to mind is trying a different key... with the assumption that the antitheft thingy in the key might be kaputz.
