Re: s40 volvo yr 2000 sometimes car not starting

I'm still having the same problem. When the engine gets hot, something in the electrical system is preventing the starter relay from getting a ground.

Re: 2000/06 S40 - Missing vacuum hose? P0017, P30(1-4)(pictures)

Good luck.

Re: 2000 S40 Electrical Problems?

I have a similar problem. I go to start the car and it will not start. The car has power but the starter relay will not activate. I'm in the process of troubleshooting the problem. I suspect the starter switch. I will let you both know if I figure it out.
