Tried to start the car and heard a click. kept trying and it finally started. its doing the same thing again. sounds like its got a bad electrical connection. cellinoid?

Hi Angela. it sounds like you have a belt proble causing your alternator to not charge your battery AND your water pump and fan to not cool properly. Inspect your belts first. If you have more questions please ask me!

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/justin_3ae27a9d61d6acd4

you may have lost the security code,bad switch,short in fuse box,bcm,imm module. you need a service manual and volvo scan tool to really diag.

Sounds like you have a battery issue but could be the alternator wasnt charging it also last u drove and ran the battery down the best way to go is remove the battery from your trunk and take it into either a parts store or battery store and have them test it may take a while as they may have to charge it first to get a valid test so plan on dropping it off early in the day and returning a couple hours later if the battery tests ok after a full charge then reinstall it and should start with a full charge and then return to either your parts or battery store and they should be able to do a on car alternator test

Sounds like a bad ground. Check all the wires from battery, paying attention to wires on the starter. If your lights dim when trying to start, it is at your battery, clean your battery connections. Bad batteries do strange things. Local auto store will test battery for you. Good Luck, JERROD

you should be addressing this to the service agent doing the recall
he will know what the symptoms are

If car wont start and clicking sound is heard this is a battery related or starter related, if your car battery is in good condition (which I think it was) then the problem is your starter, have it check to confirm.

clicking sound heard? starts fast then slows down as you crank over engine?ok try this --at the starter there is an electrical connection -- B+red wire and a smaller wire make sure these connections are tight. if ok proceed to next step--if you hear a low clicking sound when you turn the key and when trying to jump start the car still hear a click sound have someone tap on starter while you try to start it --- if car starts the starter solenoid is bad,anything more please write me back, Lee Davidian

The clicking usually means that the battery does not have enough charge to start the engine. Try just turning on the ignition and starting the windscreen wipers. If they move really slowly then your batter is low. Try recharging the battery for a few hours using a car battery charger. Try to the start the engine again after it is fully charged. If this works but then the battery goes flat again, you may have a problem with the alternator, or the battery is not correct for the car (the bigger the engine, the heavier duty the battery.

The clicking sounds like a low battery. Either that or the relay on your remote start is bad. A bad battery can damage your alternator after continued use. It could also be a failing starter. Your husband disconnected your battery and it started? What did it start from?

It sounds like a battery cable is bad. It could be corroded or have a bad connection. Both cables,(positive or negative) could cause this.
