Are you able to fold down the rear seats and go through the pass-thru and pull the manual trunk release? It's the flourescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid. Might be able to see if anything is jammed in the mechanism with it open, at the least. -Brian Read More...

As the title says... my trunk won't open. Any other owners have this problem? And if so, how to fix it? I know the button is "electronic"... so maybe a bad switch? Read More...

The exact same thing happened to my 2005 s40 stereo this morning. The volume controls are "disabled" - both the one on the console and the ones on the wheel. I read a post on another forum that the system might be stucked in mute, but how do I get it back to normal? Read More...

I have the premium stereo system in my S40. With that system, when you turn down the volume to "zero" (off) while the CD player is playing, it pauses the CD. When you turn the volume back up, the CD resumes playing. You may not be haring the radio because the system is probably in CD mode. Try turning the volume knob up a bit and see if that does anything. I hope this helps. Read More...

Volvo won't start

Written by: barbpgh on Jan 12, 2008 06:43 AM

I have a 2005 Volvo S40 with 20,000 miles. In October the ignition switch had to be replaced when the car wouldn't start during a trip. In December I had a 10,000 mile checkup. On Christmas day after driving less than 10 miles the car sat for about 3 hours outdoors. The car would not start ... the lights on the dash came on but the car would not start. After about 10-15 ...
