Answer
Tony,
I would be suspicious of a car whose indicator lights don't work. It may mask a code and you will never know it until you connect a code reader to it. Volvos are electronically complex, and when certain codes set, it affects other things, For example, if the ABS has a faulty component, the cruise control will not operate.
