As per title. Found a fun new gremlin on the S60 today. Intermittent right now but bound to get worse.
Every time my wipers are engaged, the pump is running. Doesn't matter what speed setting. I've read it can actually be a bad headlight washer motor causing this. Any truth?
Need to look at the wiring diagram to begin troubleshooting, just shooting it out there to see if anyone else had this. My guess is a bad stalk possibly just need to isolate and begin troubleshooting.

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.

Solved!
Mine and @cn90 's hunches were correct. Stalk was the issue. Followed this video and cleaned contacts on the stalk's control board. Appears grease inside with the little slider can gum up the control board contacts. Easy peasy 15 minute and FREE repair. Did the turn signal stalk as well since I had everything apart. Just used 99% Iso alcohol and a white eraser.

I purchased a used unit from Erie scrapyard and installed this afternoon, 15 minute job and it resolved the issue.
Thanks to everyone for the help. It will be nice to have wiper delay for sure.
