#1 of 2 XC90 2006 2.5T - start problem by 4dimad Jun 24, 2009 (7:43 pm)
It happens randomly. When I turn the key to position III (ignition) the car doesn’t start. All lights turn ON, but the starter doesn’t even click. I have to turn key off, wait few seconds, turn the key again and HOLD it in III position for 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it starts from second-third try. Does somebody have same problem?

Replying to: 4dimad (Jun 24, 2009 7:43 pm) Sounds like the security chip in the key isn't communicating with the car. There is a reciever in the steering column that sometimes goes bad.
