Help needed with '97 960 blinkers

Discussion in 'Volvo 960' started by E. Telly Kelly, Apr 16, 2006.

  1. My daughter has a '97 960 wagon, which got got rear-ended by a tree
    recently (!) on the left side, breaking part, but not all, of the
    plastic on the left tail light unit.

    The tail lights are functional, but she has no blinkers nor emergency
    flashers on either side, front or back. Since both sides are out, my
    gut-level feeling is that there's a wire that got snipped when the
    bumper did its thing. (Of course, I coul;d be totally wrong on this -
    something might have been bounced loose in the bump, but it's nighttime
    and we'll have to wait 'til morning to inspect things, anyway)

    Aside from "underneath on the left, dummy!". does anyone have any
    suggestions on where we should look for the problem? Is this likely to
    be a user-fixable problem or is this something that my
    recently-graduated-from-art-school daughter is going o have to spend
    our non-exostent cash on?

    Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    (She's looking in the manual as I type this, but since the woman that
    she got that car from is from a multi-Volvo family and couldn't find
    the '97's manual, so included the one from a '98, which we've already
    foound out has significant differences, I'm not totally convinced that
    we'll get much help out of it...)

    There might be, or maybe has been, a short circuit which blew the fuse
    for the blinkers...
