I have a 95 VOLVO 850 T. WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE KEY TO NOT ENTER THE IGNITION OR TURN IT OVER?

MY KEYS WERE STOLEN FOR 3 MONTHS AND WHEN THEY WERE RETURNED ALL OF A SUDDEN MY KEY WOULDNT GO INTO THE IGNITION UNLESS I PULLED THE SWITCH OFF. I MADE SURE IT WAS MY KEY BY MY DOORS SO THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

    Save yourself a big headache and call a locksmith the ignition keys are cut different than the door and trunk locks, you can get an estimate from the locksmith and the price will surprise you. I hope this helps, Take care

Did you have another key so you could drive the volvo or did it set for 3 months. I you did not insert a key for 3 months, it is possible that something entered the key tumbler or someone tried another key or screwdriver or pick and bent the key tumblers. You may need to replace the key tumbler and key or have a key tooler take your key and tumbler and reset them so that the would work together again.

SOURCE: KEY WONT TURN IGNITION

Your car uses a transonder key, a key with a small chip embedded inside. The transponder is matched to the immobilizer unit in your car. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the immobilizer searches for that transponder, if it's not near the ignition, the car will just keep turning over and not start. Your only real options are to replace the steering lock or buy a transponder bypass unit, which I do not recommend. Just do a google search.

Odometer & trip meter stopped working.

Hello, We had the same problem about a year ago: 1996 Volvo 850 20V 2.5 L. We turned the ignition switch several times, and all the gauges was came back. I think the ignition switch cause the problem. We haven't had this problem since than.

Volvo radio doesn't accept its own code

With a good battery in the car turn the ignition key to Position I. Do not put the key in position II. Make sure "OFF" is displayed. Let the car sit with the key in position I for about two hours. "CODE" will appear in the display. Enter your code.

Key will not turn

Most of the time if you can not turn the key on something like that. it is the tumblers inside of your ignition that are no good and then you need to have it replaced. i had that same problem with a older car that i had.
