1999 S70 Inoperative Starter

Post by waynej »

Car had not been driven for a few days, tried to start and just got a small grunting sound. Battery was up. Full battery voltage at big red wire on starter. Small green wire to starter only showing 3 volts when disconnected from starter and key in start position. Ran jumper from battery + to spade for green wire on starter - started instantly. What feeds the green wire?
