Windshield wipers won't park (go at rest)

Post by Mstiri »

Hello: I have a 2001 S40 Volvo and my windshield wipers won't go in park position. Wherever I turn them off is where they stay. I have already replaced the motor & control switch, still having same problem. I'm at my wits end with this because I can't pass inspection due to this issue. I would appreciate any help/advice offered. Thank you.

Out of my stomach I would say that your CEM (Central Electronic Module) is faulty.

Where are you from and are you replacing the parts yourself or do you need to go to a work shop?

PS: I might have a spare part, if you are interested shoot me a message

Hello! Thank you soooo much for responding. I have been fixing the car on my own (I'm a little lady who's handy with a screwdriver). I am located in the US (Maryland to be exact). I would be interested in your spare part if my location doesn't deter you.

Is there a continuity/ solution to this problem?

Got two CEM's from the junkyard, tried them both and the wipers still wont go into "rest"
Maybe the relay?
