Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2008240 indicator fault
`93 Volvo 240, indicator relay buzzes when indicate either way. Have swapped relay out with a good one, same fault. Any ideas? TIA Bob Larder > `93 Volvo 240, indicator relay buzzes when indicate either way. Have > swapped relay out with a good one, same fault. Any ideas? > TIA > Bob Larder Did you check the bulbs? Does the hazard flasher work? Fuses good and not corroded? Thanks James- on closer inspection turned out to be a poor contact on the fuse holder.

I solved it by throwing out all the usual "grey/silver" ended fuses which seem to set up a galvanic reaction with the copper/brass spring contacts. I cleaned up the contacts by scraping and wire-brushing them then coating them with dialectric grease. I found fuses similar to the originals but with copper ends to match the copper contacts (at a VW supplier, sad to say......). Result, no more corrosion. Good Luck.

Know it or not but the 240 and a VW golf (rabbit) use alot of the same electrical parts. Others as well. Mario Well over a year into the wifes 240 and still under $150 total cost. :o) > (at a VW supplier, sad to say......). >> Result, no more corrosion.

They both have Bosch electrical and fuel systems so that isn't surprising. |
