240: 1988 Volvo 240 not starting

[Sandy’s volvos]

i took my car to work the other day and it started fine and normal. I've been driving the car with no issue but last time it wouldn't start at work and i waiting 10 min to try again then it started and then i drove it home but again now it won't start it just cranks and cranks. i don't want to just buy parts for the car yet. i i think it might be the starter or the fuel pump but i haven't tested anything yet.

It's time to check and clean the main system fuse on the left inner fender. It's the smaller large red wire off the battery. It goes to a blade fuse which gets corroded and causes intermittent no starts. Also fuse 12 or 13 in the fuse box can cause a no start.

i just tried to start the car again and it started but I'll look for that and hopefully i won't need a tow

The fuse holder near the battery is a problem piece. I replaced mine with a waterproof fuse holder after I had the same issue with my 89 240.

i checked the fuse on the inner fender and it looks fine and the fuse box all my fuses were fine, anything else i should check for. the car starts but im worried if i drive it and then its won't start. can you put a link of which one you bought.
