2000 S40 Headlight wipers Mod idea.

Post by ifitzwater96 »

Hi. I have a 2000 S40. I am interested in wiring the headlight wipers to work with the windshield wipers. Has anyone attempted
this or know how it could be done? Thanks
Isaac

head lamp wipers work when you use windshield washer system.
wiring them to be on all the time with reg wipers would kill the headlamp wipe motors quickly. They are designed to be short cycle usage.
Cool V40 in your avatar.
