Wipers gone mad on my XC90

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.

It's probably not all that expensive to fix. Diagnosis and labour are
probably going to be the expensive parts on the bill.

 

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.

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.
