from the FAQ: ... a direct short where cables pass under engine. Volvo neatly bundles both cables in a plastic sheath. Unfortunately too tight against bottom of engine and cut through, often at the clamp securing them. This is all too frequent in pre-1990 cars. A new battery and cables cured the problem. Volvo later issued a recall for battery cable chafing.
