S80 Had Dead Battery - Now Nothing Works! S80

posted by  someone claiming to be erikjohnelson on  Sun Jun 13 07:02 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I took the family to the drive in tonight. At the end of the new Harry Potter movie we decided to leave rather than stay for "Mean Girls." I turned the key in the ignition. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK....

Fortunately the guy next to me had jumper cables and was willing to give me a jump. I followed the instructions in the S80 manual to the letter as I have heard horror stories about people blowing up the computer system on their cars. The car started easily with the jump and seemed to work fine until I tried to close the moonroof. No go. As I pulled in my driveway I wondered if the built in garage remote would work. Nope. Can't manually turn on the courtesy lights either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as to how to correct these problems. Also, where's the best place to get a new battery? I see Sam's has the UltraStart batteries with about Megawatt of juice. Not sure if they would have one that would fit though...

Should I be surprised that the Volvo battery is weak? It is just short of 3 years old.
