Understanding the Volvo 960 Starter System
The starter system is an essential component of your Volvo 960's engine. It is responsible for setting the engine in motion when you turn the key or push the start button. A robust and reliable starter system ensures that your vehicle starts quickly and efficiently, regardless of the weather or how long it has been sitting idle. When it comes to maintaining your Volvo 960, ensuring that the electrical lighting and starter system are in top condition is crucial for a smooth driving experience.
Components of the Volvo 960 Starter System
The starter system in your Volvo 960 consists of several key components, including the starter motor, solenoid, battery, and ignition switch. These parts work in unison to convert electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to turn the engine's flywheel. If any of these components fail, your Volvo 960 may experience difficulty starting or may not start at all. Regular checks and maintenance can prevent such issues and ensure the longevity of your vehicle's starter system.
Common Signs of Starter System Failure
Recognising the signs of starter system failure can save you from being stranded due to a non-starting engine. Some symptoms to watch out for include a clicking noise when attempting to start the engine, a starter that operates but doesn't engage the flywheel, and a completely unresponsive starter. If you're experiencing any of these issues with your Volvo 960, it's important to address them promptly to avoid further inconvenience.
Choosing the Right Starter System Parts for Your Volvo 960

What is a Starter Motor?
The starter motor is exactly what it says on the tin. It's simply an electric motor that turns your engine on which you switch the ignition. The starter motor needs a fair amount of torque to get the engine to turn at such a fast speed. So that the engine draws the fuel and air into the cylinders and can compress them simultaneously.
How do you know if your Starter Motor is Gone?
If you start the car and the engine won't start then it could be either a dead battery or it could be a failing starter motor.
You may notice one of these symptoms of a broken starter motor:
- Grinding - If the starter motor produces a grinding noise when being engaged, it's possible that it's worn out and needs replacing
- Smoking - If your see smoke coming from your engine when you start the car, the battery could be pushing too much power to the motor causing it to short
- Oil soak - As the starter motor sits below the engine, it's vulnerable to oil leaking from the engine and soaking the motor causing it to fail
- Broken solenoid - The solenoid's role is to deliver the electric current from the battery to the starter motor when the engine is started. If the solenoid is damaged, the starter motor may not be getting the power it needs
What is an Ignition Switch?
The ignition switch is a system that includes the ignition lock cylinder and is part of the entire ignition system. It is responsible for starting the car, as well as providing power to the engine, ignition, and electronic applications within the car.
What are the Symptoms of Ignition Switch Failure?
There are several ignition switch failures to look out for and these are:
- Your car stalls while driving
- The car starts and then cuts out
- The engine doesn't start at all
- Issues turning or removing the key
