Re: S60 intermittently wont start unless starter jumpered

Ignition switch!! That was the culprit! I replaced the switch 5 days ago and have not had a problem since, so I think that was it. Switch cost $55, and took about 20 minutes to replace, very easy, the only tool needed was a torx bit screwdriver. Lesson learned - next time check this switch first bef...

Re: S60 intermittently wont start unless starter jumpered

DGM - thanks again, great tips there. The local dealership has an ignition witch in stock for about the same price as online, I'm going to pop it in tonight and see what happens. But yeah, it's really weird how shorting it out makes it start - that's why I initially thought it was the starter or sol...

Re: S60 intermittently wont start unless starter jumpered

DGM - thanks for that excellent reply. I've replaced the relay and that's definitely not the problem. I checked the 11B/22 fuse (it was fine) but swapped it out with the spare just to be sure. So, I guess that narrows it down to either the ignition switch or the clutch position sensor CPS. I'm guess...

Re: S60 intermittently wont start unless starter jumpered

The problem does happen somewhat reliably, but when it does I'm typically not in a location where there's someone with test equipment. If I bring it to a shop and it doesn't fail, they're most likely not going to be able to tell me anything. Seeing as I've already replaced the battery, starter, and ...

Re: S60 intermittently wont start unless starter jumpered

Hi Igel, thanks for the reply. That's correct - the starter/solenoid was replaced and for a short while (about a month) after that it seemed to be okay - I thought I had it fixed. But now it's back - exact same problem as before I replaced the starter. It's really got me baffled. Hopefully someone c...

S60 intermittently wont start unless starter jumpered

Here's the issue, 2003 Volvo S60 Standard transmission w/67K starts intermittently. When it does not start, there is a click but no crank. All dash lights work fine when the key is turned, but just no crank. When it works it starts up immediately with no issues. The problem happens randomly - someti...
