Indicator/electrical issues 1998 S40
Hi, hopefully someone can help. I have a 1998 V40 2.0, with presumably a short somewhere in the electrical system. The indicators have been a bit funny for a while but have been working most of the time until recently. As of yesterday, the front indicators have stopped working completely. When you turn them on, it clicks and the green dash light comes on, and stays on, but the front indicators on the car don't light up, and the rear ones come on and stay on. The hazards work, but flash somewhat irregularly. Also the left rear fog light stays on, and the switch doesn't seem to do anything. I've been searching this forum, and have tried the potential fix of clicking the hazard switch repeatedly, and checked connections, fuses and bulbs.
Several posts here have suggested that the problem may be in the wiring harness under the radiator (including this one: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=180349), but I am having a difficult time accessing it. I'm trying to reach it through/under the OS front wheel well, I've removed the plastic cover, but it looks like I will have to remove the radiator, and this is not something I'm looking forward to. Any assistance would be very much appreciated at this point. Am I on the right track, or can anyone suggest something else to try? |
