Customer Question

I want to put my 1987 Volvo back on the road. Its been standing for about 2 years. Just got it a new battery, but there is a suspicious heavy wire next to the hot wire. Car doesn't start (no noise at all; no click, whirr, nothing) can it have something to do with the wire? And what is it for anyway?

 

Country: United States
Make: Volvo
Model: 740

Already Tried:
Could be a GL, GLE, who knows. Could also be a 760, cause when the ins. co. looked up the vin, she said it was a 760, but registration says 740. I'm trying to get this car back on the road. Bought new battery, nothing happens, AT ALL! Last time (L-o-o-o-ong time ago), started right up.

Is there any chance you could take a picture and post it here? That would certainly help figure this out.

Let me know. Thanks
