"Multiple bulb failure" message - 2002 S60

Post by lzy54610 »

My wife's 2002 S60 has received the above warning message, and the driver side headlight and tail lights are out. I have checked the fuses and the bulbs, and their connections, but found nothing wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Driver's side headlight and taillight are two very different circuits. Different relays, too.
A voltmeter would be a big help here, and I'd want to look for actual voltage goes-inta and comes-froma the relays, which are really all that is left if you are certain that fuses and bulbs are good.
1982 240DL: Drove it 32 years and 1.5 million miles (sold, even still had mint leather!)
2001 v70 2.4T: The most expensive $1500 car I ever bought ("Volvo Turbo" - what an oxymoron!) (sold)
2004 v70: Far less fatally-flawed v70 - It served well (sold)
2010 v50: Smaller, slightly sportier wagon. Its got a spoiler, so I upgraded with sway bars!
