Electrical issues
Good evening all,
2005 Volvo V50 2.0d 180000+ miles I hope that somebody can help me. I have recently changed my passenger headlight full unit along with the plug as it was all corroded, all the wires were rejoined colour for colour and soldered them together. The headlight works fine. Now the interesting part, when I put my key in the ignition turn it to stage 2 no lights on the dash no clocks nothing!! Until the interior light goes out then it all comes to life?? While I'm driving if you turn the interior light on all the dash goes off again?? Another thing it has started to do is now and again it is almost like someone has turned the car off for a split second which is quit unerring. If I just turn the key straight to turn it over it all flickers then comes to life. The car starts regardless of what I do so no issues there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I've tried that, it stays the same unfortunately.

Thanks Clan, are they easy enough to fit?

Beyond my skills that haha, how expensive are they?

Around £200 from memory unless you can haggle the price.
Around an 1-2 hours to fit for a Volvo tech that knows what they're doing. |
Clan may be right about the part, as it commonly goes bad, but that sentence does not fit the symptoms to me
"While I'm driving if you turn the interior light on all the dash goes off again??" so do I understand correctly that when car is on and engine is working, you can provoke dash to go off just by turning the interior light? Does it stay off until you switch the light back off? Does the rev needle and fuel gauge "dies" when that happens? Just to double check before digging into the SCU... |
