Re: Headlights go on and off randomly during day.
Also of note, whenever this happens, there is a bit of delay in the engagement of the turn indicators. Switched the headlight relays on the CEM with no effect.

Re: Headlights go on and off randomly during day.
Probably the stalk/switch. My experience with my own car ('06) makes me think a possible culprit might the white grease Volvo uses on chassis moving parts (latches, switches, hinges, door stops) has hardened into a thick putty and sticking the mechanism.

Re: Headlights go on and off randomly during day.
My car is not equipped with the DRLs and driving around with headlight on during daytime can attract a fine here in Qatar I believe. I am getting angry stares from others due to this stupid inadvertent flashing. Sheesh!!

The problem disappears after driving around for sometime. Also, I am unable to select the hi-beam mode (it automatically...
