V70 P3 Main Beam Not working

Jonny Jimbo · Jun 7th, 2020, 16:03

Hi All,

Got two issues come up on my P3 V70 (T6 AWD), but I'll have separate topics for them.

The main beam headlights do not work at all, on a flash or clicking to main beam. As the tell-tale on the dash was working I figured that the bulbs had blown, but it seems not to be the case, as I have replaced them and still nothing. Also, I love how easy it is to get the headlight unit out of a P3. I was less enthused by the tiny space you have to squeeze your hand into.

Anyway, Is this a known issue on P3s at all? Can anyone tell me where the fuse is for it or the relay? Or any good pointers to look for?

As long as you have the rotary switch in the "on" position you should get main beam in normal circumstances. Have someone listen for the the relay click on the CEM by listening in the passenger footwell. This should be audible even when flashing. If not audible it may be that relay.

Also check the fuses on the CEM, in footwell. You'll get fuse details in your handbook.
