I am not sure how much help I will be, but your codes seem to point towards a cam and/or throttle sensor issue, or worse so, a timing issue between the cam and crank shafts. My experience has been that it is the sensor going bad that leads to the fault. I am not sure if the throttle sensor can cause a non-start, but a cam sensor certainly will. Many on this site use the Vida, which is the gold standard, but personally I use an iCarsoft device I bought on Amazon for about $130. DTC codes only give you a glimpse of an issue especially on later models. Getting codes off the Volvo side of things will likely help in further diagnosing the issue.

No cranking,
1st it was battery fuse.
Now it’s 2yrs but it not battery fuse.
When I press start…click and that it. Nothing else…
It crazy? Is there something else?
