I checked the wires and they seem to be fine from what I can tell. I even took the pin out again to see if the lights would come on, but nothing. When I turn the key it is literally dead. I was going to try replacing the battery, but I just don't know what the wires would look like if they were not ...

It was attached to the actual shaft of the gear selector. So where would they be in relation to these pieces.

Alright, so I got the pin back in.... Good call. Is there anything there that would have drained the battery. Before, when the pin was out, the lights on the dash would turn on no problem. But now there is nothing. I tried to jump it which got the lights to come on and the engine did try to turn ove...

Ok, I tried the reverse lights and they did not work. The engine does not start in nuetral or park. I have not pulled the gear cover. Should I check the switch and control pin as u stated in the previous post or is it something else since it will not start in either position?

1991 240 volvo wagon will not start

The car has 217,000 miles. When you turn the key it's as if you are trying to start the car in nuetral. All the lights come on in the dash board and I tried to jump it so I'm not thinking it is the battery. Also, when I turn the key there is a BUZZ that runs through the engine similar to a motorized...
