95 850 Turbo - Electical Issues

Post by Sefro »

My cars lights and blinkers have been very erratic lately. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I have checked the fuses. What should I look at next?

When they are not working try to jiggle the key and see if they come back to life. If they do you need to replace the electrical portion of your ignition switch.

It is cheap and it is easy.
