I tried to search and came up with nothing that matches what problem i have.
So here it is guys
1995 850 GLT N/A 120k
Drove home tonight in it, shut car off and then could not get it started again.
No dash light (christmas lights), no start, check fuses and they seem ok for checing at 9:30pm in the dark with a flashlight.
Cranked the car and nothing, jumped it and nothing(thought maybe dead cell?).
Is there a fuse that controlls the dash lights in pos 3.
We have only 1 fuse box right in these cars? under the hood.

uhh your battery is probably completly dead. TIME FOR A NEW ONE. but that is what i would guess. it doesn't have enough juice to crank over, and it can't power all the lights. when did you last get a new battery?

You said you cranked it. Does that mean it cranks? Or the starter won't even go? Which is it?

I don't know about 850's, but X70's have one on the drivers strut and one directly above that, under the windshield wipers
If it doesn't even crank, dead battery
If it does but won't turn over, could be any number of things

C'mon guys, I know you mean well but think how a professional would go about this. It's not fair to tell someone to get a new battery or it's a dead battery especially when they said it cranks but doesn't start. Wouldn't it be better to ask what the voltage is? They were asking about fuses and since I'm no 850 Volvo expert I don't know the answer.
There are relays, switches, and modules that could cause this problem. Gearshift adjustment and a dozen other possibilities which must be check until you can isolate the problem.

Well you may first want to find out if the battery is dead. Sometimes you can try and jump a battery and it still won't start a car, its just dead. This happened with my 525, it would crank for a second but wouldn't start. Tried to jump it and still wouldn't start. We threw a battery in from another car and it started just fine. No reason to get uppity.

Check your cables and ends for corrosion,including the ground strap under battery.Then battery and/or ignition switch.(electrical part)

Maybe we should FAQ this, there are relays under the hood next to the fuse box that occasionally goes bad. There are three relays under the hood that are normal SPDT relays. Changed all three of them and the car starts normally.
Thanks for the goose chase guys
Took only 10 minutes to find that problem.
thanks
