Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2006Radio Code for a 93 850 and front beam wipper problems
Hi!, I bought three months ago an 850GLT, but the radio is asking over and over again for a code. The last owner is not willing to give me the code. Where can I got it? Beam wipers: the right hand side one doesn´t work any good and time to time stay fixed in vertical position. Sugestions? Best regards Oscar > Hi!, I bought three months ago an 850GLT, but the radio is asking over > and over again for a code. The last owner is not willing to give me the > code. Where can I got it? Volvo dealer can look it up with the VIN. I'm puzzled and mildly concerned that the original owner will not give up the code. Is it possible the radio was stolen? > Beam wipers: the right hand side one doesn´t work any good and time to > time stay fixed in vertical position. Sugestions? I'm not sure I understand the problem. And to be sure we are talking about the same thing, are you asking about thw wipers that clean the headlights? When the wipers are used does the wiper move? If it moves does it move across the surface or partly. When the wipers are turned off do they return to the parked position? > Best regards > Oscar Hi: The old owner lost this car because of no paymento to the dealer!, that´s why is not willed to help. That´s right, I´m speaking about the wippers that clean the headlights. The left one turns very well on the whole path, but the right side one sometimes moves and some others no, and usually when stops working is in the upper porint of the path (you can side one end from the driver sit!). When this happens, you can´t move it any way (I bet that if I force this piece a little more, will broke the arm) Best regards > > Hi!, I bought three months ago an 850GLT, but the radio is asking over > > and over again for a code.

Have no idea about the beam wipers. Chuck Fiedler Nothing but Volvo since 1974 Thanks. You now: in Costa Rica the dealer has a charge os US$20.

I've disconnected mine completely (you'll find a plug leading to each one under the hood at the back of each headlamp) and have no problem with visibility. If you do have lots of mud then those wipers would probably end up scratching your lenses up from trapped grit. Also, I know it's a long shot but the code for my 850 GLT radio is 1551, give it a try! Good luck, blurp >Thanks.

Volvo finally dropped them in favor of just using a nozzle to spray fluid on the glass. I think that is a better solution...maybe.... > I don't know if Costa Rican roads are particularly muddy or something > but I've found that those headlamp wipers are largely a gimmick.

Finally I went to the dealer, the gave me the code and I told them that is not usual in other countries to ask for US$20, They gave it for free this time!! The radio code is different, 4454, but is funny to see that in both cases the used just 2 different numbers.
