97 volvo 850 wagon turn signal won't work right

Post by printgirl08 »

We have a Volvo 850 wagon. The right turn signal in the front doesn't work. The back works but blinks fast. When we put the key in without turning it or turn the lights off the orange light on that corner only stays on. We have switched sockets, changed the bulb, switched the hazard switch relay and checked electrical continuity. This has us completely stumped. Please help!!!

I think this (and your other problem) may have something to do with the ground strap behind the right headlight, near the computer. The washer pump is in that same area.
