V40 Turn Signal Lamp Fault
Summary of the thread
A 2013 V40 is experiencing a turn signal lamp fault, with an error message on the speedometer and a general lighting fault. The suspected cause is a cable or plug issue, similar to a problem experienced by another vehicle owner, where a frayed wire caused an intermittent connection. The suggested solution is to have a technician inspect and repair the issue, as confirmed by another's experience where professional repair resolved the problem efficiently.

An intriguing parallel. Was the frayed wire obvious, or did you need a multimeter? And was the error consistent, or only under specific conditions, like bad weather?

The fraying wasn't obvious. A multimeter helped confirm the intermittent connection. It wasn't weather-dependent, but bumps seemed to trigger it more. After a week, I gave up and let the workshop handle it. Best 90€ I ever spent. Maybe you should do the same?

Your insights are invaluable. I'll concede and take it to a technician. The estimated repair is about 95€, a small price for peace of mind. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and saving me further frustration.

Sounds frustrating! My old Peugeot 308 had similar issues – blinker problems, dashboard warnings. Did you check the bulb socket for corrosion? For me, it was a slightly frayed wire causing an intermittent connection. Have you wiggled the wires near the connector to see if the error comes up?
