#38 of 40 Intermittant Electric Start Issue by hsmart Jul 17, 2009 (5:14 pm)
Our 2004 V70 (65,000 Miles) has begun having an intermittent starting issue. When ignition key is turned to run, all lights illuminate as normal, and any accessories left on (blower, radio etc.) start up. Sometimes when the key is turned further to start the engine, nothing happens. There does not seem to be a consistent theme with temperature or humidity. The battery has been changed, and the electrical charge system has been checked all ok. The main starting cable connections have been inspected for cleanliness and tightness. The dealer has looked at it, and is not capable of doing much because the diagnostics have stored no revealing data. My thoughts are (1) Starter/Solenoid going bad, (2) Some type of Neutral switch malfunction and (3) Ignition Switch going awry. Is anyone aware of a common problem or recall concerning this topic?
#39 of 40 Radio code by okanogan Aug 03, 2009 (12:41 pm)
I just bought a used V70XC s/w and the battery died. To "restart" the radio, it calls for a code, which I do not have. How do I get it? Thanks - okanogan
