Oh, and we found it might not be a bad idea to check both the starter and main relays as age appears to be taking its toll.
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

Relays with wire wheel on Dremel, Speed 3.
Picture doesn't really show how nice these cleaned up - now shiny bright copper.

I didn't realize you were in Albany. I was up there last fall...with a wonderfully exciting Camry instead of a Volvo, though.
I'll give you a holler if I make it up that way again. I want to do an Adirondacks trip.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

I shuffle between NYC and Albany, usually by Amtrak.
Weekends in Albany.
In SEA at moment, figuring out why planes are cracking....
Always room for a Volvo fan at our house, ADK are truly a National treasure.
