V40 Turn Signal Lamp Fault

I've got a 2013 V40 gasoline with 162344 km. The turn signal lamp is faulty. There's an error stored, a message on the speedometer, and a general lighting fault. I suspect a cable or plug issue. Anyone seen this before?

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?

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.
