Car Forum / Volvo Cars / February 200685 240 wiper relay location
Does anybody know exactly where it is located and what it looks like Wipers only work on high. Tried swapping out lever on column not the problem. 85 240 145k USA also have some 83 240 parts for sale if interested > Does anybody know exactly where it is located and what it looks like > Wipers only work on high. > Tried swapping out lever on column not the problem. > 85 240 145k USA > > also have some 83 240 parts for sale if interested It's roughly 1x2x3", 6 flat pins, should be black in colour and was originally installed hanging on its wire harness inside the dead pedal. Often it is not placed back behind the dead pedal by people working under the dash, so it may be just "hanging around" under there.  SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly. (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.) what and where is the "dead pedal" Thanks for the reply Ray >what and where is the "dead pedal" >Thanks for the reply >Ray Assuming you're in a LHD vehicle, it's on the far left under the carpet. Presumable in a RHD vehicle, it's on the far right. Chuck Fiedler Nothing but Volvo since 1974 it's left hand drive Do you mean under the rug on the firewall, or on the floor. And if thats the dead pedal location, what is it? Some kind of hach cover,filler panel? It's a piece of sheet metal, goes down at the base of the firewall. Gotta remove quite a bit of trim to get access to it. Pretty easy, really. Remove the black plastic snap on rocker panel cover, peel off the door opening trim which helps hold the side trim in place (at fuse box area), pop out a plastic snap which holds the trim against the side, lift up the carpet, undo two screws holding sheet metal in place, and voila. > It's a piece of sheet metal, goes down at the base of the firewall. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > lift up the carpet, undo two screws holding sheet metal in place, and > voila. And it's called a dead pedal because it's where you rest your left foot when you're not using it. It keeps both your feet in the same geometrical plane which is generally more comfortable.

Have not got to it yet wipers still work so not priority Thanks for all the input When ours failed, the wipers operated continuously full on, which was most amusing for the two weeks it took me to locate the relay. ----- -RL > Have not got to it yet > wipers still work so not priority > Thanks for all the input Problems could also be called by a failed or failing mechanism on the wiper stalk, mounted on the column. Recently I had problems with the intermittent wiper function not working: replacing the relay made no difference, but replacing the stalk / with built in switch did the trick. Note that there are different stalks (model specific). |
