Re: 2000 C70.

Started yesterday, start car... go, directionals and headlights not working.
Turn car off, then back on, they work.

Can't be a fuse... Would I start looking at Relays??
Thanks!

Replace the starter switch on the end of the steering column lock this
is a known fault

do?? Or does it mean opening into the steering column, which I cannot do...
or don't think I can....

Very Simple just remove the lower steering column cover 3 torx 25
screws remove the connector from the switch then remove the 2 torx
screws that hold switch in
