    I stopped the motor at fuel island and won't restart , the starter doesn't engage; I knocked it with a hammer, sometimes woks in cold weather, but nothing; i have power 12.9v, ; I turned the ignition on ,crowled under and truck with a wire bypass ignition and it started fine;I'm on a hot load moving , can't stop it like Keanu Reves in "Speed" :) all Volvo shops are closed on my route ,what could be the problem? I checked fuses, but I don't know how to check the ignition relay ; the starter is less than 1 year old.

    I had the same problem in my 07 VNL670.
    Turned out there was a bad splice in the wire between the solenoid and the starter.

    They checked the wires ,but the solenoid was bad ,i replaced the whole starter they don't have the solenoid only , @ Volvo, Laredo ,TX ; took them a day to figure out; stay away from this Volvo shop; are working like pregnant ladies 8AM to 6:30Pm with 2 hours lunch break.
