Recently, my lights didnt immediately turn on when I turned the switch on but would come on after some revving. Then they would flicker while I was driving if I hit a bump. Now, I turn the lights on, then I have to flash my high beams twice and hold the high beams on to get all of my lights to work. And it is always twice without fail. My parking lights work fine and make the noise that they are on when I turn on the car, but as soon as I turn to the main lights, nothing, including the lights inside my car, front head lights, and rear lights, work. I've disconnected the plug to the switch and reconnected it and replaced all of my broken fuses, but nothing is changing. I really want to fix this myself because I don't like giving my car to strangers because its like a part of me. Please help.

Do you have a 12 volt test lamp or volt/ohm meter?

Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 26, 2011, 4:18 PM Post #4 of 4 (2053 views) Re: Volvo 240 Dl lights arent working Sign In Under the dash on the driver's side. Near the kick panel. Your going to have a difficult time troubleshooting this unless you have some type of tool that can let you know if you have voltage at different points in the circuit for the headlamps and a wiring diagram to trace the circuit.
