Summary of the thread
The 2006 Volvo C70 is experiencing sporadic driving mode errors, with intermittent error lamps and system failures, particularly affecting audio and navigation. Diagnostic checks suggest a defective cable connection to the BUS system, impacting a control unit. The recommended solution is to have the vehicle assessed by a qualified technician, as the issue may be too complex for a DIY fix.

Could you elaborate on the issues you experienced with your Opel Astra? Were the errors consistently repeatable, or did they occur sporadically, as they do in my Volvo C70? Could you provide detail regarding which ground points you inspected, and what methodology you employed to ascertain their integrity?

Okay, so with the Astra, it was mostly random. Sometimes the radio would be fine for a week, then it would cut out three times in an hour. The blinkers were even weirder; they'd flash fast, like a bulb was out, but all the bulbs were good. Honestly, I didn't check the grounds myself; I just took it to my local shop. In your case, if you think it's the BUS system, I would take it to the shop. That sounds a bit too complex for a simple DIY fix.

Whoa, sounds like a real head-scratcher! I had something kinda similar happen with my old Opel Astra, though it wasn't exactly the same. My radio would just cut out randomly, and sometimes the blinkers would go all wonky. The mechanic kept saying it was a loose wire, but they never really fixed it properly. Did you check all the grounds? That's usually the first thing I'd look at.
