UPDATE: 2000 S70 : hard to start -- CONCLUSION

Post by bcVolvoS70 »

Thank you all for replying to my original posting. I feel that my experience may help others.

I accidentally discovered that the whole problem was caused by master windows switch. One day the windows control simply gone dead, all the windows were half open.

I took the master windows switch off and inspected it, and noticed that the switch was worn out and caused shot circuit. I bought a new switch from ebay and replaced it.

Since then, the car starts fine every time. :)
