Thank you.

The engineers seem to like to make complex systems to start cars.

My son has a Saturn L200 and one day it wouldn't start. Same condition, you turn the key to position III and it does nothing. I checked all voltage, starter, etc. and it was all in good condition.

It is apparently a switch module that is also very expensive and to replace you need to pull the air bag, steering wheel, part of the column and then you get to replace the $200 item.

So the kid is paying his own way through college so I hooked up a remote switch to the starter solenoid. He has to turn the key to position II, open the hood and press the button....car starts. It works for a kid in college that has minimal funds for a $200 switch.

I appreciate that you can ask your local factory trained Volvo Maven what he thinks.

Car has 90,000 miles on it and is in pristine shape.
