2009 volvo s80 won't start

The car won't start when I press the ignition button, but the lights and radio work. When my husband jumped the battery, it was fine until I turned it off again. If the battery is low, why did I not get the battery indicator on the dash. There are no messages on the dash that gave me a red flag.

Try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 10 minutes then reconnect it...verify that the battery is charging properly..sounds like the battery does not have enough cranking power..if he jumped it and it ran okay until you shut it off, the alternator is working properly, battery needs replacement...cheers.

SOURCE: Volvo S70 won't start - battery, generator, or other

usually multiple clicking (like a machine gun) does indicate lw battery voltage. did you get 11.9 volts with it running or car off? with running you should be over 13.6 min up to 14.0 volts. these cars have a fair amount of electronics with some residual voltage draws which may shorten battery life. 4 yrs is not too bad. i would consider replacing battery

SOURCE: I have a 1995 Volvo 960 Sedan won't start

you need to replace the Park Neutral Safety Sensor on the bottom of the Transmission. Should only be a $125.00 part. Your battery and starter are fine. Replace it and iy will be fixed.

Your immobilizer is enabled. Try locking/unlocking the doors with the remote five (5) times, this should remedy.

SOURCE: valet key will not start volvo s80. turns in

thats because your regular key probably has an electic connection to the car so go to your volvo dealer and they should be able to clear anything up or replace it with a key that will work

My 2002 volvo s80 has to be jumped started every time i turn off keeps running after jumped

Check charging voltage when running. It should be around 14 volts at the battery terminals. If not, even when revving, then change the alternator.

Then check the battery voltage at rest, a few hours after resting that is. The voltage shouldn't be lower than around 12.5.
You can double check battery condition by turning on the vehicle lights and cranking. If the lights dim significantly, then you have a dead battery and you will need to replace it.

Mechanic was not sure how to reset maintenance overdue message once he serviced car. He tried pressing and unpressing trip odometer a few times without success while car was not running.

Got this of a forum. It's for the key less cars. Credit goes to the original poster.

2008-2009 Volvos with starter push button on dashboard

The trip odometer must have at least 0.1 mile on it or the light will not reset.
Get in vehicle and do not push down on the brake pedal
Put the key in the slot and push the starter button once
Press and hold down the odometer reset button
While doing this, push the starter button again and hold for 2 seconds
Keep the odometer reset button held in and watch the instrument cluster for the general warning indicator (I) to illuminate. When this happens, release the button.
Turn the vehicle off then back on and verify the message is now out.

In my 2000 volvo s80, the radio stop working and the door lock button and the dome lights are intermittent. I checked all the fuses and are all good.

Try resetting the electrical system by locking and unlocking the doors with your key in the driver's door 5 times in a row. A service manager at a Volvo dealer showed me this after they did some work on my car and on the way home the sunroof wouldn't close.

I have a 2001 S80 that I have to reset the electrical system like this every time I disconnect the battery. All kinds of stuff stops working...sun roof, door locks, lights, radio, windows, etc. Just reset like described and everything should start working again.

Good luck.
