240GL Unknown Electrical Problem 1984

Okay, let's imagine for a moment that there's this 17 year old kid who just got this volvo with a new engine in it from her mom's friend, and let's imagine that everyone thought it was completely fixed and useable. Now, let's say this kid is driving around one day and stops the car but not for very long so the car is still hot when she tries to crank it again. Now, let's imagine that when this kid does try to crank it again it clicks from God knows where and the lights on the dash come on and the radio works, but the car doesn't crank (as in engine doesn't turn over, car sits there). Now, let's imagine that because this kid has only ever driven a 67 mustang which is American and doesn't have nearly as many parts as an 84 volvo, she has no clue what's going on. So, she takes it to what she knows to be a reliable mechanic, not a "mechanic", an actual mechanic. Now, let's say this mechanic has tried fixing things on it three times free of charge, and he's running out of ideas. So the person that gave the kid the car tells her to come to this website because people are helpful. So the kid does, but only one person is actually helpful, the rest act like she's a complete idiot that has been trying to work on her own car and doesn't know what she's doing so they use flowery car lingo that goes over her head because she's a poet not a mechanic. None of it helps. End of story. Do you understand my delima now?
