Turning indicator(only the left ) problem, only when braking

TTT242 · Post by **TTT242** » Fri Nov 28, 2003 4:46 pm

ArghHHH, It's a long time that I was on the forum( about 2 years).
I now drive a V70 2.5T(whow, that goes fast, but sometimes I remember driving the 480 was very special

, I still love that car ), the 480S is now for my brother and the 480Es for my mother. But when there are problems, it's still me to solve

The problem with the 480ES (1989) is as follows:
When the left turn indicator is on, everything blinks normal, but when I hit the brakes, the indicator doesn't flash any more(VERY DANGEROUS). When I release the breakes, the indicator starts flashing again. On the right side everything works normal.

I think the problem is a bad connection in the left tail light unit or the CEM.
Anybody an idea?
THX

have you checked the earths? check the rear clusters also, could be shorting somewhere. The V70 is a lovely car!

I agree, definately an earth fault, it will be on the rear cluster, the left side. (the side thats indicating)

There is a major earth point on the left side of the car, at the rear, below the light cluster.

The problem is solved: it was in the rear left light unit/cluster, one of the connector pins didn'y make any contact. I had to bend one of the pin, and everything is back to normal,
Thanks
