I pulled the relay, but it also controls the wipers, so that didn't work. I found the connectors under hood after looking at one of Neil's posts that confirmed that the wires to the wiper motors are red, yellow and black. I need to figure out how to cap the washer fluid line, but at least my windshi...

Thank you-- that's a simple solution for now!

Hi All, My 2004 XC70's driver's side headlight wiper is giving up the ghost and blowing the 15A fuse it shares with the washer pump. There's a wiper delete project in my future, but now it is snowing and cold here. I know that the bumper cover has to come off to do a full delete of the wiper assembl...

Hi All,

My 2012 S60 T5 needs a new hood release cable-- the one that connects to the two latches. From what I can gather, some say you have to remove the bumper, others describe removing the grill and the horns to gain access. Has anyone here done this job? Any pictorials or tips?

Thanks, I will check the axle bolts!

At this point the ABS light is on most of the time. I'm wondering if there is something more at play here-- it seems really unlikely that 3/4 ABS sensors (one of which I didn't touch) all failing intermittently-- should I be considering a BCM module failure? Steering angle sensor calibration? Anybod...

Hi Neil, I didn't remove the wheel hubs, just unbolted the strut from the steering knuckle, but not before removing the ABS sensors, because I was worried about damaging the sensor wires. I just tipped the knuckles outward enough to clear the struts and kept everything supported. I didn't touch the ...

Hi All, I recently replaced all the strut assemblies on my 2004 XC70 with Monroe quick struts as well as all the sway bar end links. The fronts were straightforward, the rears were a challenge, as others here have described-- I destroyed a 2 ton come-along ratcheting down the control arms... Since d...

Thanks Chris-- things got more complicated when I tried to do more diagnostics-- the hood release cable broke when I tried to open it! I got it to a local independent Volvo shop ASAP to avoid needing a tow. They got the hood open and jury-rigged wire loop pulls to both hood latches (the bumper has t...

Hello all:

I have had an intermittent low battery warning on my 2012 S60 T5. As part of some diagnostics, I measured the output of the alternator at the battery, and was surprised to see 15V. Is this abnormal?
