Started the S70 yesterday, a cold day and had no electrical power. Engine started and ran fine.

No lights, no accessories, no instrument lighting, and could not get the shifter out of park with the brake pedal depressed.

After about 60 seconds of warm up, all electrical power returned and all was normal.

Is there a main relay on a 98 S70 that I should be inspecting? Was thinking it could be a sticking main relay.

There's a rat in the woodpile.

Which exact lights and electrical items were dead?
Get the schematic for your car and find out which fused circuits quit.
Post back- leave a link for the schematic for your car.

There is no 'main' relay. I would check the grounds and the battery posts, looking for a loose connection. Possibly one of the red wires at the battery could be corroded.
