Rapidly blinking turn signal V70-XC70 2001

I know this is a recurring Volvo problem. I remember having in on a 740 many years ago. I can't remember the fix and can't find clues in the archives.

When I put the left turn signal on a get that "double time" blinking. The message indicator says I have a turn signal light out---but I don't seem to have one out.

What's the skinny on this?

All cars have adopted the convention that if a turn signal bulb is not functioning, then the side with the bulb out will double click. But it does not tell you if it is in front or back, that you have to figure out.

BTW, when you buy bulbs at the local autoparts store, they come in packages of 2. Replace both turn signals on that end of the car. Keep the old/working one in the glove box as a spare.
