Well I fixed the ETS light- replaced the clutch position sensor and now it's out! Haven't tried the cruise control yet but I'll bet it works now. Disconnected the tailgate latch pigtail, now that light is out too. Headlights have been left on for a cheap fix of the buzzing but will likely try to sol...

Thanks for the info!

:D :D :D Stop,the presses!! Abscate actually contributed something of value beyond snark to MVS!! This is sure to crash the new server........ I was impressed! Now if you can tell me how to remove the plastic surrounding the latch on the interior of the tailgate without breaking it you will be a RE...

There is a short thick braid that carries the current from the solenoid to the motor that can corrode and take out your starter too. It goes from a nut on the solenoid down to a connector on the motor case. This was exactly what went wrong. This short braid was almost totally corroded. Ended up rep...

Doh!! These cars need the clutch on the floor to crank, and that is probably related to you clutch switch problem. If I don't clutch in on my T5M, I get the "plink" of electronics and no cranking. There is also a starter bypass wire on some Volvos that lets you apply voltage direct to the...

I'm more worried about fixing the ETS light and the starter at this point. OBD "not ready" is the least of my worries. Pretty sure I won't have any trouble at the inspection station, but if I do I'll let you know! I want my son to drive around anyway so maybe it won't be an issue. I can't ...

... Plugged in the code reader and found a P1040 fault for the O2 sensor. Resetting that code turns off the ETS light, at least until the car is restarted. Will check the sensor wiring first, and replace the sensor if that looks ok. Hopefully that will solve that dash light. ... Just FYI, that p104...

Very likely s bad battery cable rather than a starter. Don't rule that out until you get it started and see if the cables run hot. You can also remove them and test with an ohmmeter. Don't forget to get your radio code before disconnecting your battery and make sure you have passed inspection befor...
