No turn signals 200 1991

Noticed that my turn signals weren't working this morning on the 1991 240. Headlights and parking lights worked fine. Didn't specifically check back up lights. Didn't have presence of mind to try the 4-way flasher.

Is there a separate fuse for the turn signals? Where is the flasher?

I checked the 700/900 FAQ but I'm not sure that a 240 has them in the same places.

    For fuse locations, check the fuse panel cover label or the owners manual.
    If you have neither, go to www.volvocarsus.com
    "Register" (no password, just an email address) and then you can see the manual on line.

    Follow the path through Owners' Information to Library and select the document you need.

    Yes, test the flashers.

    Also know that the turn sig. wiring goes to flasher relay via the flasher switch on center console. If a wire falls off or connector at back of flasher switch gets tweaked or otherwise messed up the turn signals can fail.

    Flasher relay is clipped to vertical corner frame piece of center console, left side. That is the corner close to driver's thigh, closest towards rear of car.

    To access it, remove panel at driver's right foot. One phillps screw, one plastic fitting with big slot. Relay should be clipped to metal rail. It sometimes comes loose and lands under carpet edge. Relay is about 1x1x2 inches. Black, from what I've seen. Only 3 wires, which is unusual for a relay.

    You can check fcpgroton.com to see which years 240s take the same relay.
    Then you can borrow one from another 240 and test in your car if needed.

      Had a chance to check the fuse box and the Bentley. Fuse 5 was melted. Replaced it and turn signals worked briefly--fuse blew again. Bought more fuses. Looking at the Bentley book it noted that for 90 and later fuse 5 has turn signals and back up lights. Not what the fuse box cover sticker said but makes sense if I put the back up light connections on the transmission switch (M47) backwards. WHen doing the cat converter and O2 sensor change.

      Now of course we have steady rain from the tropical storm.

        Rain stopped and underneath I found that both of the backup light wires had melted insulation and bare wire showing. Repairing now and that should solve the problem.
