Replace ignition switch or see if its got a lock under your steering wheel or just keep rocking your steering wheel back and forth while trying to turn ignition on,dont force it though

    Steering will unlock, key wont turn enough to start ignition.

  • josie casavan Jul 14, 2014

    maybe your shifting linkage under your hood is bad,try shoving the shifter on the top of your transmission forward towards the car window,if its goes all the way forward then try to start it,if it starts then your linkage needs to be replaced

SOURCE: Radio code for volvo s40

If the display says "Off" the radio is locked from incorrect code input.

You need to leave the key in the accessory position with the radio on (display reads 'Off') for about two hours.
After that it should ask for he code again. You have three tries before it locks again.
Some radios are different, but typically you use the knob to adjust the numbers, push the knob in to move to the next number

How do you reset the immobilizer for a 2007 volvo s40?

Your ignition needs replaced. They weren't the best on Volvos; especially if there is a lot of weight on your keychain.

2005 Volvo S40 with key stuck in ignition. It turns off but key doesn't come, out of the steering wheel. Please advise needed, if lock change is required estimated cost of part and labour please.

Some ignition system locks will not release the key unless you push in towards the column while turning further off. It is a safety device to stop in advertent removal of the key while moving. Try that first.

How do I turn off the day lights on a 2003 Volvo S40?

Why would you want something that makes your vehicle safer off? The only place would be the dealer turning the option off with their computer.

On 2004 first generation model you can turn them off... put the lights in the middle position -parking lights- turn key to number 2 position, pull back turn signal lever towards you, hold it back and turn lights to off position and release.

I heard that other owners pulled the fuse but only after making sure that that was the only function of the fuse and that lights all worked as normal at night.

Keep us updated.

Radio frozen on "OFF" on VOLVO 960

this happens when you have entered the code incorrectly 3 times. what you need to do is leave the key in the ignition at point 1 for around 3 hours make sure everything is off (heating lights radio etc ) when you turn the ignition and the radio on it will ask you for the code.
