Volvo 850 » Ignition Switch

Intermittent ABS light, no cranking or inconsistent electrical component operation can all be symptoms of a faulty ignition switch. One quick method of diagnosis is to 'wiggle' the key in the ignition with the vehicle running. If you note dash lights, warning lights, or electrical components start or stop, it's a safe bet your ignition switch is about to fail. The ignition switch is part of the ignition key lock but can be replaced seperately and in about 15 minutes. You'll need to remove the torx screws located in the lower steering column cover to access it. See the tools section of our website to find torx bits.
