XC60 electrical problem?

Post by elgarsartis »

Hello people!

I have freshly joined this forums for I have recently purchased my first Volvo! A 2010 XC60, beautiful machine, I am completely enjoying every second in the car. There is one problem, that concerns me and I can't seem to find anything on the internets about it. In the dark part of the day I was cruising and minding my own business when my headlights flickered for about 2-3 seconds and the (i) symbol in the dashboard and the clock (only 2 things) were flickering simultaneously with the headlights. This happened about 3 times in a span of 3 minutes or so. I pulled over after the third time and tried to look it up then and there but couldn't find anything that would prevent me from driving on. After about 10 minutes I reached my home and parked and when idling with engine and lights still running only the headlights flickered again. I am not a technical person whatsoever and my usual mechanic is more keen on older cars and not electrical problems. I would be thankful for any tips and suggestions for cause and a fix!

EDIT: I freaked out unnecessarily. Turns out that it was what I thought it was originally - just a bulb going out. The flicker was so quick at the start that I couldn't notice the warning in the dash. This can be closed/deleted! Thanks for attention. :D
