Abscate, how many lashings with a noodle for nucci ???

In all seriousness I hope it solves your issue and do report back.

I know it’s my fault for not using an OEM part. Put a Volvo PEM in today 40F outside started and ran fine. Weather forecast tomorrow is -15F windchill. Fingers crossed it starts.

The jury has contemplated the evidence against the Dorman PEM and will issue a verdict…..short

Started -5F this morning! I believe the issue has finally been resolved. Dorman PEM was the issue, replaced with genuine Volvo PEM and started right up. I guess I learned my lesson to buy OEM Volvo.

I don’t know how mechanics shops stay in business with the parts supply chain of today

Nuncio, can you pull your part number and post it here please, for cross reference?

Dorman PEM faulty

You helped me. Thanks. My six-month-old Dorman PEM also did not work below freezing. After I saw your posts I kept the Dorman PEM inside overnight and in the morning my V70 started right up. I installed a used Volvo PEM today and the problem is resolved. Were you able to get a refund for the Dorman PEM? I too spent time and money on other things in the belief that the problem could not be with the new PEM because it was new.

Ya I was able to get a refund from dorman because it was a Amazon purchase and was under warranty. I made this thread in hope that it saves other people. I called dorman and made a complaint they apparently “noted”. You should call dorman also and explain your issue.
