Hey everyone! We bought our first Volvo in June of 2023. We have had intermittent issues with the car not starting. When you try to turn the ignition, all of the lights on the dash and media center operate as normal, as if the car was going to crank. You can hear a hum under the hood as if the car is trying to start but no attempt. Sometimes I can hop out of the car, lock it, hop back in and it will start with no issue. No error codes/messages throughout all of this. Some days, the car will remain dead for several days, rendering us down one vehicle for several days.
I have tested the battery and everything seems to be within normal limits. When the car is running I have no issues out of it at all. I keep start/stop off for eco.
I seen an older thread on here I didn't want to "revive" so thought I would make a new one. This thread was a 2016 xc90 with the same issues and it turned out to be a loose starter connection. I am not that car savvy, but would like to try and address this myself if possible (Volvo dealer said it would be minimum $170 to look at it and based on other things I have read, they don't exactly look at the cheaper route). I do not have warranty on the vehicle.
Thank you all for your time to read and hopefully leave some advice!
