I replaced the battery with the recommended battery and car still wont start.
Now I can get the car to turn over but I dont seem to be getting any power to the ignition,system. I get no lights on the panel when the key is turned to on position; although i can get the car to turn over, it will not start.
I have checked the fuses and they all look good. Have I missed something or is there reset when the battery is changed that Im missing.Dont think its the fuel system.
Is there a module that may have gone bad??
thanks for your time.

Hi - I too have a 97 Volvo 850. I had the battery replaced on Dec 31, 2001 & a full service by Volvo on Jan 10, 2002. My car wouldn't start on Feb 14; had it towed & recharged & wouldn't start again on Feb 21. I'm quite frustrated. Never had a problem with this car until it reached 60,000. Now, I keep a battery recharger in my garage just in case. Volvo cannot give me any answers. They said to check that all the interior lights went out once the car was turned off, to check the lights in the glove compartment & the trunk - all go off, but still having problem with the battery drain. If you find out something, please let me know. I really like this car & it has stood the test of time, but something is wrong & no one can give me an answer.
Cindy
