I am having a little battery draining problem. (I know, it is totally uncommon in volvos, right?) My battery has totally drained out twice in the past week. Cause....Unkown. Today I had some time to go through the system a little bit. What I did was to put a ohm meter between the battery cables (with the battery removed) to see if there was any current passing through the system. Sure enough, there was. I pulled each individual fuse out to see if I could locate the problems there. No change in the reading. I then seperated the positive wires from the post and the main pos. going to the starter had an open current through it and a secondary wire had current, although the smaller of the three showed no current.

My thought at this moment is that I have a short in the starter syleniod. Has anyone ever can across this problem? What other areas should I look at??? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks and have a great day!
Heath
