I have a 2003 volvo s60..im getting an error message for bulb failure on the left turn signal..ive replaced every bulb and just noticed that the front bulb is glowing dim. any suggestions?

Change the bulb from the top side it's tight but it can b done

You really need to see the dealer about this, your SRS system is not turned on until this problem is diagnosed and corrected, NO AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM.

At www.reliable-store.com get complete guide
on whether to repair or not, service it, and how to repair etc, along with wiring diagrams, electrical diagrams, torque specs, error codes, everything.

Have some one work all the light's while you check them, running lights, stops lights, turn signal lights, there's a burn out light bulb some where that needs to be replace.

You have a blown bulb. Change it.

Likely a brake or turn signal light is burnt out and needs to be replaced. Turn on your hazard lights and step on the brakes and have someone walk around the car until you find the burnt lightbulb and replace.

the position bulbs are located in the trunk and you access them the same way you access the tail lights im not sure what the bulb does but its a 10 dollar fix. FYI when you replace the bulb the message center will still tell you that it has failed you have to take it to the dealer to have them to erase the message (i just left mine it seemed a waist of money)

Gregg -

I had the same problem. It was a defective lamp socket on the driver's left side, Volvo Part Number 8662985. Costs me $11.24 to replace the lamp socket, which included the bulb. If you've already replaced the bulbs yourself, you will find replacing the socket pretty easy, just use a thin flathead screwdriver to delicately pry off the metal retainer clip which holds the lamp socket in place, as you'll need to reinstall the existing metal retainer clip once you've replaced the lamp socket. Two minute job.

my 2004 s60 has a message of "BULB FAILURE LOW BEAM" i have just replaced both low beams 2 months ago. before it was just out on left side and again it is only the driver side that is out. Does anybody know if this is a reoccuring problem in '04 s60 models? How do I fix it?

I assumer you're getting a a "check left turn signal" error message too? The rapid flash is the car's way of letting you know you've got a bulb out. The front bulbs can be tricky since they're double filament. If one filament is out the light may look dim. Set the hazards on and inspect. Last time this happened to me on my 2001 S60, the bulb was fine and the socket was flaky. You may need to clean the contacts and check the resistance from the plug to the socket. Mine is working now - for the time being. I hope it's not your front bulb because you have to remove the air filter to get to it. Good luck!
