Here are a few reasons why your 1991 Volvo 240 sedan might not be starting and making a buzzing noise from the dashboard.

1. Battery:

- Check the battery terminals to ensure they are clean and free from corrosion.

- Ensure that the battery connections are tight. Try to start the car again after cleaning the terminals and tightening the connections.

2. Starter:

- The buzzing noise may be coming from the starter. If the starter is faulty or damaged, it will not be able to engage the flywheel and start the engine.

- Try tapping on the starter with a hammer or metal object while someone tries to start the car. If the car starts after this, the starter may need to be replaced.

3. Ignition System:

- Check the ignition coil, spark plugs, and spark plug wires to ensure they are in good condition and properly connected.

- If any of these components are faulty or damaged, they can prevent the engine from starting.

4. Fuel Delivery:

- Ensure the fuel tank has enough gas.

- Check the fuel filter to make sure it is not clogged.

- If the fuel filter is clogged, it will restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, preventing it from starting.

5. Electrical:

- Check the main fuse box and ensure all fuses are intact and not blown.

- Check the main relay, which might be causing interference in the starting circuit.

If you are unable to identify and fix the problem, it is recommended to consult with a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the issue accurately.
