My left headlamp wiper doesn't park on my 2000 V40 - Volvo guys said it
was the wiper motor and wanted $359 US to replace it so I said no.
Anybody have any suggestions? Any good places to find a replacement in
the Seattle area, or a good discount parts dealer - I'd pay half that,
but I might also park the wiper and deactivate the motor. Headlamp
washers seem kind of silly here in the Emerald City and I don't have
any plans to sell the car because it's a sweet runner.

Just Unplug the connector to the motor as for discount prices try
searching for some of the Volvo websites Brickyard is one of them I do
not know the exact address but others in this group will be able to
assist with the rest

The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
