light problem 850 1996

I have a weird problem with my 96 850 turbo.

The signal lights will start flashing while I am driving the car, not driving the car, car turned off and key removed. Doesn't matter.

I have noticed that the red alarm light on the dash will usually be blinking when this occurs.

I spoke with a volvo service advisor and he thought the hazard relay might be shot.

Bought new Hazard relay problem continues.

Has anyone else had this problem. Horn does not sound when the lights are blinking.

I thought it might be the alarm but here is the strange thing:

I drove home got out of car, with engine off and keys in hand and car unlocked the signal lights went on and stayed on. Not blinking just solid orange and on all the time.

I checked the fuse looked good but replaced with new fuse anyway and same problem.

I have since pulled the fuse and have not noticed the problem as often but the alarm light will still go off once in a while.

Could it be alarm relay or is it a more costly electrical problem.

Until fixed won't pass inspection.


Help?
