I HOPE SOMEONE WILL HAVE ADVICE FOR ME. MY VOLVO WAS NOT RUNNING ENTIRELY SMOOTH (BUT IT WAS RUNNING)I ATTEMPTED TO "HELP" BY TAPEING SOME BARE WIRES THAT ENTERED INTO THE "CONNECTOR"? THAT IS LOCATED ON THE FIREWALL IN THE CENTER. WELL, AFTER I DID THIS I PUT THE KEY IN AND TURNED IT ONLY TO THE "ON" POSITION. AND THE CAR BEGAN TO TRY TO START AND CONTINUED TO "TRY" TO START EVEN WITH OUT TURNING THE KEY TO "START" EVEN WITH MY HAND OFF THE KEY IT STILL ACTED LIKE I WAS TRYING TO TURN IT OVER. WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO "START" IT STILL CONTINUED IN THIS MANNER AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. SO I UNTAPED THE THE WIRES, LEFT THEM BARE AGAIN, AND THE CAR RAN AS IT DID INITIALLY ,PRETTY GOOD. WELL, I DECIDED TO RE-WIRE ALL OF THE WIRES GOING IN TO THE CONNECTOR WHICH HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEM TO AGAIN OCCUR. DOES ANY ONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN? I AM STUMPED, WHY WOULD THE CAR PREFER BARE WIRES? ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED, THANK YOU.
