Is this front or rear light? You might have a problem with the grounds at the tailight, if it's the rear one.

Turn the flasher on, and see both lights flash the same way. Flasher Relay is in the engine compartment Fuse/relay box.

Nine times out of 10 it's a bad bulb. You have to pull them out and inspect the contacts on them.

Possibly the turn signal switch itself. I had this happen on the GM steering columns that I've installed in my Datsun & in my Scout. The contacts in the switch itself wore thin & broke off making contact when not on. I'm not sure of the design of the Volvo switch as I didn't pay attention to it when I had my issues with the ignition switch.

So you pulled the bulbs and looked at each of them?
