On the way home from the pick and pull the other day I noticed that I had lost my turn signals. When I got home i hit up brickboard and started turdging through the search feature and i determined that the relay was good because emergency flashers still operated inside and i had bulbs on all four corners. according to my wagons fuse box cover the signals are on fuse 5 with a 16A. the fuse was blown, i inserted a new one and it blew as i turned on the vehicle, repeat 3 times.

the switch still works for brights, don't know if this matters.

replaced switch yesterday... the signals worked for a minute then took it for a drive and fairly soon after lost them again, blows fuses as soon as key is turned to 1 or 2 position. when the volvo fuse box cover sais that on the circuit is also the tail lamp... does this mean the lights that turn on when in reverse? could a burnt out bulb be causing the fuse blowing?

I've spent some more time on the search feature and read about the turn signal being on a circuite that runs through the hazzard switch... could a wonky hazard switch be causing the #5 fuse to blow repeatedly?


the car has other electrical issues which are probably unrelated... at times the doors will automaticly lock when i open the driver side door from the inside, the driver side back door's auto lock function does not work at all. I have no brake lights, and one of my reverse lights is out. hitting the fog light switch does not do anything either, althought im not sure why, i think it has its own relay? but i do not know what it looks like. when i turn the lights on I always get a bulb out... i dont think any running light that should be working isnt working, the third brake light doesnt act as a tail light does it?

This is a repost, and for that i apologize but i keep falling flat on my face trying to fix this, any help is very much apreciated.
