    Hello everyone, this is my 1st post, thank you everyone in advance.
    I have a 2014 volvo d13, manual transmission, like 3 weeks ago i was trying to start it but only a clic, no crank, then i replace the starter and it start like new, 2 weeks ago, same problem, then the mechanic saw that one of the solenoid post (one of the small one) was broken, so i bought a new solenoid and still the same, i only hear a clic. I replace the 2 relays located on top of the dashboard where the fuses are, and still the same. It doesn't even start by jumping the solenoid. Is there another relay or fuse? Or maybe a bad wire? I checked the cut off switch and everything is fine there also the batery connections are very tight. I'm very frustrated with this, so pls any help with this?
    Thank you so much!!!

    The corrosion climbs up inside the battery cables. They look new outside ( If you wash them off ) but the green snot is still up inside the sheath doing its thing.
    As always check where the negative cable bolts to the frame. Clean good

    no. need to check for voltage drops, cable connections. ground should go directly to starter from battery.
