The starter inhibitor switch on a 1983 Volvo 240 is typically located on the transmission, near the gear selector. It is designed to prevent the engine from starting unless the transmission is in the "Park" or "Neutral" position. You may need to access it from underneath the vehicle for better visibility and reach.

Disconnect the wiring harness from the old switch, then install the new switch by connecting the harness and securing it back in place. Finally, reattach the console panel and reconnect the battery to test the new switch.
