Question Four days ago I was sitting in the car waiting on someone with the radio on and noticed the display showed "Low Battery Voltage". I attempted to start the car and it clicked and tried to turn over. I jump started it and drove it home. It was fine for a few days and then yesterday after being parked for 1.5 hours, clicking and no start. Jump started, and drove it home. This morning, same thing. I had the battery tested yesterday at the local parts store on the way home and they said it was fine. Any ideas?
Answer Tim, if its a Volvo battery, even though it test fine, get a new one. They suck. There may be a draw somewhere in the system. May be a voltage regulator on the alternator. There was a bulletin on it. Have it check out by a real Volvo shop or dealer. No joe schmoes garage, they will try to sell you an engine. HAHA. Roger
