Could be the turn signal switch (the one you use in the car to go from left to right) or turn signal relay too.

SOURCE: 1999 s70 volvo driver door won't open from outside or inside

I am working on this RIGHT NOW. Remove panel (see Utube) remove white cover (Torx 25) from interior of exterior handle. You will see that lifting the handle pushes a rod down The rod is attached to the bottom half of the mechanism via a cheapo plastic connection, that can work loose. It is like a screw shaft (top) that squeezes (sideways) into a blue plastic channel which merely pinches the "screw shaft" to hold it. The connection has come loose. Squeeze upper shaft into (lower) blue channel. Added tiny bit of epoxy to bond "screw shaft" onto blue plastic gripper. Done. Saved $500.

Volvo s80 turn signal light not blinking

The turn signal switch wears out in these cars fairly fast. You can clean in just by removing the turn signal lever and cleaning the connection inside with a light sanding I mean really light or just use a eraser and clean the residue with alcohol. Then use some dielectric grease it will make it last longer.

My turning signals don't blink on the outside and stays illuminated on the inside and also the front outside. My turning signal fuse is also well. I've noticed that my back up lights stopped working. Would...

Usually if you turn on your turn signal and it stays lit solid inside, it's telling you the bulb is bad in your turn signal outside. I would check your bulbs first. Same for the backup lights.

Turn signals dont work

Switch in the column is likely the problem. Unless you are very familiar with inflatable restraint systems leave it to a professional.

My Volvo S60 Fuel flap won't lock or unlock,

The pin solenoid that activates the remote locking is not receiving any electrical signal, it must have been unhooked. This solenoid is right by the filler door, inside the boot. The alarm activates on electrical differences, such as dome light, boot light or filler door electrical demand when it is activated. Hence, the alarm wont trip off if door is opened manually from the outside.
