Wipers gone mad on my XC90

Jan 25, 2006 8 Replies

My wipers are possessed!



They are going on by themselves and no going on when they should. As it's raining here it makes it hell to drive, not to mention dangerous.



Has any one else had this happen? If so what needed to be done to fix it?



Cheers,


Mark


Could be the relay that controls them...

I had possessed wipers in a 91' VW Golf, water got into the wiper relay and all sorts of wild things would happen.

Mine turns on automatically when it's minus 24°celsuis even with the switch in off position... good luck

It never gets minus 24c in Sydney Australia! But I see you're point. The car is still under warranty so I assume that there will be no problems. The dealer is fixing it on Friday as tomorrow is a public holiday here (Australia Day - So lamb chops on the barbie and way too much alcohol, usual stuff!!)

Thanks for the feedback I will update after it's fixed.

Cheers,

What are you cringing about John?

Who cares?

Just told it's the wiper motor and there is not one available in Australia.

NOT HAPPY!

Volvo Australia will be getting a call.

Final chapter, a one week wait (at best) for the wiper motor, can not safe to drive, after lots of hassle, I have a hire car from Volvo, but it's a Toyota Avalon! I appreciate it's just to get me from point A to B and they are paying for it, but still I hope that wiper motor is on a fast plane from Sweden.
