Default Headlight Issue

Hello,

We own a Volvo S40 (2000 Model).

Everything has been working fine; but yesterday the headlights stopped working.

We replaced the bulbs...this didn't resolve the issue. When we checked the fuse; this seems to be OK?

Any ideas? Relay? Where is relay located in S40 for headlight?

Thanks AV

Thanks for the reply Tech...much appreciated.

I gave the car to dealer today; and identified...

- Had to replace CEM (Central Electronic Module). Including diag + labor + parts = $500

Then, dealer informed me he had to move the power-column to replace this part. When they removed the steering column, identified the clock spring is broke. This is going to cost another $250 (inc labor) to replace; & will take 2-days for part to arrive.

Hopefully nothing else breaks now!

Not sure if the clock spring was already broke - no way to know.

Thanks for the quick diagrams - this will be helpful for the future ;-)

Thanks AV

Did the turn signals cancel properly?

They shouldn't have to pull the column to replace it.

I have done it before without removing the column.

Oh ok sometimes the little tab on the clock spring breaks and won't cancel the turn signals.

They must have broke something. They don't break easy.

Hi Tech,

Thanks for your update.

I agree - I have the feeling they broke something; but obviously won't own up ;-)
