Random no start - low battery charge 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be rollo41 on  Sat Oct 20 10:45 CST 2007 [RELATED]

1996 850 GLT non-turbo, ~140K: Daughter in Colorado reporting recurrence of mystery low battery no start problem. I had a verified mechanic replace the alternator with genuine volvo and install a new Interstate battery 4 months back and the car ran perfectly until wednesday when ghost returned. Daughter reports interior lights OK, but having to use shift over ride to place in reverse or drive, and hrn ging into alarm mode when key removed after no start. A review of the archives back to 2004 showed that maybe a ground or ignition module is at fault and that perhaps we missed a recall n the ignition part. Any clues? I find it hard to blame the alternator, but think interms of bad cable r a ground gone bad. HELP, she needs to move next week. Recommend shop in Engleqwood or Golden?
