Has anyone heard of this happening? The relay from Volvo is $190. I found a local used dealership that'll give me one for $30. The thirty bucks isn't what I'm worried about. I'm just worried that I'll put the new one in and it will melt just like the first.
When I walked out this morning the blinker lights were on without blinking. The car started and ran fine. When I took the melted relay out (underneath the dash), the blinkers and hazzards worked fine, but the car didn't start.
This car has keyless, but no alarm, to my knowlege. The keyless has no panic button or anything.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice or maybe a jumper for that relay if it indeed can be bypassed if indeed there isn't an alarm.
Thanks,
Joe
