Hi,
I've read through a lot of posts about the "bulb failure position light" message, but can't seem to find an answer to this situation. I have that message in my 2002 V70, and all of the position lights are not working: 4 in the rear and 2 side markers just forward of the front doors. All 4 rear bulbs test good (I haven't tested the front 2 yet), and fuses 30 and 31 in the interior front fuse panel test good.
Could this be a bad shunt? Seems like there are 2 shunts that might be involved. Should I just swap the shunts around to see if that helps? Are all 4 shunts the same?
I can't identify a relay that covers all of these bulbs. But maybe I'm missing something....
Thanks,
Lewis

 

Well, this is strange. There are no front position lights on this car. There's a place right next to the low beams where they should be, but no bulbs, no socket, and no wiring harness. Doesn't look like there have ever been lights there, and I know for sure there haven't been in the three years that I've owned it, but the "bulb failure position light" message just came on.
I replaced both 1156 bulbs in the rear because there was one silver base and one brass base, but that didn't get rid of the message.
Any ideas?
