Low hanging fruit = battery, credit Abscate. 12.x volts at rest, 13.x volts running (I know... it's not running, just putting that there for the record). 12.6 volts I use as a benchmark. Your user profile location doesn't say where you live, but the US is experiencing a significant dip in temperatu...

I have a 2006 Volvo S60 with a sound problem. Whenever I try to use the am/fm radio or CD player the sound will cut out, get muffled for a couple seconds before going back to normal, start playing in one single speaker like on one door, or most times it will just cut out completely for minutes which...
