Re: 1996 Volvo 850 tries to start when I connect the battery cables

I replaced the ignition switch and it continues to try and start still so is the pnp a possible problem? I'm great with mechanics but this Volvo is a different animal I just bought it about 2 months ago... I've never seen a vehicle do this lol

There is power to the green/red wire to the ignition switch even when there is no key.. I unplugged the power circuit plug. And still have power to the green/red wire. Not even quite sure what that plug is for.. where do I find that transmission range sensor?

Should the red battery cable show power to the starter at all times?

Re: 1996 Volvo 850 tries to start when I connect the battery cables

Are there any inline fuses that would cause this problem? I'm not getting any engine codes for a transmission sensor... but my speedometer does only work on an occassion...
