Hi,

Not sure what is going on, but...

1999 Standard Trans V70

CAR NOT STARTING, ATYPICAL SOUNDS
I went to start the car. Everything sounded fine for a second, but then the starter noise seemed to change to thinner, "electronic version" of the normal robust starter sound.

After I back the key up (stop trying to start it), I can hear an electronic tone coming from the engine compartment, maybe for as long as a minute or so from the engine. Eventually, something like a relay clicks and the tone stops.

When I try to start it now, I just get that weird new starter sound, that sounds like a softer, fake version of the starter noise, but the car is not starting.

Any ideas please?
