98 S70 won't start. S70

Help me diagnose my starting problem. My engine won't turn when I switch the ignition into start position. It's just dead silence and no particular fault light switches on. All the lights on the dash board including the rev meter and odometer go haywire. They will flash and the odometer acts like a stop watch. Power will go out for 30 seconds and fully restores. I can run radio, head lamp, and fan with no problem after that.

I also have a plug in the wall battery charger / jump start machine at home. When I tried to jump start the car every electronics flashes off and on. I checked the fuse for starter and it looks good and it seems like the battery should be fine too. I am leaning towards electrical problem. Is my ECU dead? If so are there cheap fixes without getting a new one at dealer?


Thanks a lot, Robert.
