V70 turn signal fault

Alright Volvo gurus, need some brainpower. My 2010 V70 diesel has a wonky turn signal. Error's stored in the memory, plus I'm getting an error message in the speedo AND a fault in the lighting itself. I'm betting it's a dodgy cable or plug connection. Anyone seen this before? Driving me nuts!

Hey there! Yeah, turn signal issues can be tricky. When you say 'fault in the lighting,' can you be more specific? Is the bulb not lighting up at all, flickering, or is it something else? Also, have you checked the flasher relay? Sometimes a faulty relay can cause similar problems.

Good call on the relay! I hadn't thought of that. The light's not lighting up at all, completely dead. Where exactly is the flasher relay located on the V70? Is it easy to get to?

Okay, completely dead light points more towards the bulb or connection. The flasher relay location varies a bit, but check your owner's manual first. If you're not comfortable digging around, honestly, a workshop visit might be best. Could save you some headaches tracing wires.

Cheers for the advice! Workshop it is. Turns out it WAS a corroded connector like I suspected. 95€ later, all fixed. Appreciate the help!
