    Whenever I turn on the wipers the trailer and truck lights come on too and they will stay on until you turn the truck off
    The truck is a Volvo 860 2019

    Wipers on=lights on. I saw that sign somewhere. Sounds like a built in safety feature to me.

    It is. Flip the headlights switch on and off to turn them off. At least that's how the Prostar works.

    Drivers are often not intelligent enough to turn lights on in rain or fog now they do it for you like other options we used to have

    It's a programmed safety feature for your truck.

    If you're unhappy with the truck, I'll give you an address where you can drop it off with the title inside and I'll gladly drive it.
