V70
I have a 1998 v70 AWD and would like to stop them from working when I use the windscreen wash wipers. is this an easy thing to do.
Rob
yes, unplug them

where is the switch located to unplug them .
Rob
unplug them at the motors.
Open the bonnet and down behind the headlamp there is an orange/brown coloured plug, disconnect it and repeat on the other side.
as easy as that :)

I'm not sure if this is possible but you could also wire in a toggle switch so that you can turn them on and off as you want. You'd need parts from an old loom perhaps and a generic Volvo switch and relay. Just and idea.

Relay them onto the headlight circuit so they only run if the headlights are also on.

Good ideas chaps , i have them on my R and wondered what to do with them , the trick is to ensure good wash fluid in the reservoir perhaps , ammonia isnt working so well on my old crappy screen in the DD though...
Plenty of spare switch blank spots in the dash so i will make one work. Cheers!

I have a switch from a 98 V70 XC if suitable and required (I don't know what an 800 series switch looks like). It just needs the bulb and holder.
