Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 2006Wipers 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. > My wipers are possessed! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Mark Mine turns on automatically when it's minus 24°celsuis even with the switch in off position... good luck 945 306k/km 1993 Rob Guenther a écrit: > Could be the relay that controls them... > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >>Mark 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, Mark > Mine turns on automatically when it's minus 24°celsuis even with the > switch in off position...
