Re: Starting Issues 2008 XC90

Hey folks, thanks for all the input. I haven't been able to work on this for awhile now. But I plan on using the cable I made my jumper cables out of to make a replacement positive cable (the wire is free) and just run it around the outside of the car and see if that changes anything. If it does I'l...

Re: Starting Issues 2008 XC90

The cable I have is a larger gauge. It's DC power plant cable for a DCO facility. I've never tried the positive only, but have gotten it to start running the ground only. But it still doesn't turn over full speed. Problem with a ground issue is that could be anywhere right? Not just on the cable fro...

Re: Starting Issues 2008 XC90

Hey all, thanks for the posts. Will look into these things tonight. A couple things. The starter has been replaced already. I'm 99% certain this is an electrical issue. Yes, I cleaned all connections until they were shiny. Also, I can jump the vehicle off it's own battery with a 30 ft set of cables ...

Re: Starting Issues 2008 XC90

I did clean the battery studs and inside of battery cables from your origional post. When I get the reading on the jump start post, should i just put the negative to ground? Or keep it on the battery negative? Also, I have the V8 engine (I'm not very car savy, but want to try everything before I tak...

Cleaned both battery posts and cables, and the positive leads up at the fuse box with no change.

Haven't had a chance to check Voltage yet, will get that a little later this evening

Re: Starting Issues 2008 XC90

Is that positive cable a straight shot from the battery? Wouldn't corroded connections cause the same symptoms when connected to another vehicle to jump start? Don't get me wrong, I will try your suggestions, just asking.
