94 850 ABS Light on.. No headlights or turnsignals

[Volvoguy83]

So today while driving through a drive-thru I noticed my ABS light had come on all of a sudden, directly after that I noticed that my headlights, which were turned on were not actually on. Turning my switch to parking lights only I noticed that they worked fine. When I turned the lights back on they still would not illuminate, also my turn signals would not work, not even a click and indicator light on the inside.

Given that it was dusk I decided to pull over and my thoughts were to check and see if a fuse was blown. When I turned off the car I decided to turn it back on again first just to see if the problem was still there, upon restarting the ABS light was off and my headlights now worked normally.

I am completely dumbfounded by what the problem could be. My best guess is some sort of relay may be going bad, but thats just an educated guess. Has anyone else out there had a problem of this sort? Id like to get it taken care of before I find myself randomly driving and I lose my headlights again.

Ignition switch contacts getting worn can be a cause of this. If it happens again try moving the key a faint amount CW and CCW and see if the items work.
