turn signal

Post by sarawgi »

The turn signa & the headlights do not work when the outside temp is hot Appox. 85 degree and above.
Every morning when I drive from the garage it works. But when I drive in the afternoon after the car has sat in sun.....the turn signal & headlights do not work

I have S-70 AWD with 68,000 mi

Thank you Dave

That sounds pretty strange.. I have read in Consumer reports and other reviews of S70's that they were having problems with headlights and turn signals not being attached very well and shutting off, or burning light bulbs incredibly fast, but I don't understand what the weather has to do with it. Let us know when you find something out, thats interesting.

this may be unconnected (no pun intended), but the ignition barrel often affects the turn signal/lights/abs light etc if the car is started, then the ignition key is left witht the key turned too fat forward. Try moving the key slightly (1-2mm) back (as if you were about to remove it) and see if this helps. I know this ailment affects loads of 850's so here's hoping it sorts yours out
