V70 P3 - 'Bulb Failure, position Lamp'?

Fulham · Apr 19th, 2016, 10:16

Anybody know what that means? I've tried the manual but cant find it in there? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

I imagine I'll need to check the rear lights, which i'll do when I see my car again tomorrow unless anyone has a better idea?

It'll be the sidelights/marker lights in the headlamp.

As tt82 says it's one of your small sidelights. Start the car and then look round it for the offending item.

And be prepared to struggle getting it out. The book says to pull on the wires, how any engineer designed that is beyond me, they must of been overuled by the bean counters. I spent £22 on a pair of double jointed long reach pliers in readiness for when my bulbs fail.

Watch out for the clip on the bulb holder, there was one on mine and needed a long but small screwdriver to depress.
