2002 V70 headlight wiper motor noise

Post by Lewis »

I've been having periodic problems with both headlight wiper motors trying to run periodically -- sometimes for many minutes at a time. The wipers don't move, but the motors sound like they are straining. I want to disable them at least temporarily. Is the best way to pull fuse #12 from the cab fuse block or to try to unplug the motors themselves?
Thanks!

The fuse is common with the spray washer that also goes on the windshield. Must keep.

The wipers electrical connectors are on top of the headlights under the hood, think green color, make sure to put some tape on them so they don't corrode. You can also put a small pin where the liquid tube connects to the headlight spray piece (outside, near the wiper arm) so you don't waste liquid on the headlights.
