volvo 1995 850 glt- same problem- turn key no crank no noise.
lights on dash come on.
1.) removed battery ground wire for 2 minutes.
2.) took wire to ground and moved to back of battery and jiggled it around
3.) connected battery
4.) car starts up-
Not starter,not solenoid,not battery,not ignition switch
ANSWER-Ground wire to chasis not getting good contact- replace battery ground cabel and make a better connection to the chassis.
Hope this is it- my car has had this happen for an extended period of time- have not found complete resolution to date- Please let me know when you find a solution.-JMM

With all fuses & relays in place, I disconnected the wires going to the negative post and placed my ammeter between them. I found 180 mA being drawn. As I pulled fuses one by one, I found fuse #15 (audio system, courtesy lights, door open light, trunk light, glove box, remote control central locking, oil level sensor, seat belt reminder, data link connector) once removed dropped the current down to 60 mA (a 120 mA reduction). Placing fuse #15 back in, I found (oddly) that when I opened any one of the four doors, the current dropped to zero. Looking at what schematics I have, I removed the overhead console since it showed some 'door switches'. But nothing changed. I pulled all the relays that I could find, (those adjoining the fuse box under the hood, and those relays under the left dash). Nothing I did would pinpoint the problem. Open door(s) no current, closed door(s) = 180 mA. Any suggestions or advice is most welcomed. Thanks for your time.

My volvo 850 transmition cut out on me. For a while the arrow on the dash was blinking and it would switch to limp mode. I brought it in to be looked at and they didn't find a problem. Last time it happened the car slipped out of gear and didn't move at all. I had to stop the car and wait a few seconds then start up again. After that, everytime I came to a stop I had to stop the car and restart. What's going on??

I have and 1995 850 turbo. Yeasterday I started my car and it was idling really high, I let it run for a min. but it wouldn't come down at all so I turned my car off. When I tried to start it, it sounded like it wanted to start but just wouldn't turn over. What could it be?
