alright guys,

Mommmy was driving my old 91 240 and the thing cut out on her going down the road. So...like a good volvo driver (I have her trained) she checked the fuel pump fuse - blown. Replaced fuse, car starts right up. But....won't shift out of park. So she decides she's going to dabble into the black arts of electricity and replace other fuses. Looks in the book and sees a fuse that says "shift lock" and goes to replace that.

Now, my mother raised some damn good children, but she's not a mechanic, and replaced the fuse with the car running. Sparks flew, she got a little zap, no big deal, but now the car wont start - meaning it wont crank. Its an auto, so we can't pop start it. It also still wont shift out of park. Since Im in school, I cant go look at the car, but I sent my uncle over to check all the fuses. We also clicked over the shiftlock button and put the car in neutral, same thing, still no crank.

When I get home, I plan on working backwards from the starter relay and see where Im missing power, but thats a pretty general plan. Any kind of relay or idiot proofing system I should look for? Any way to bypass all of the safety features and just crank the car short of jumping the starter motor?

Car turns on, radio, lights, blinkers, brakelights, windows, all that crap works.

Thanks alot guys,
