    I think wipers comming on is a standard feature on Volvo. They checking if U pay attention. I have deluxe version, both wipers and bright lights come on at times.

    I totally agree about the electrical issues. When we had Skippy the Volvo it was freaky how every once in a while the windshield wipers and light popped on.

    And I also had the problem with the cruise control set changing the radio station.

    When we talked to the shop about the problems the reply was "it's a volvo it's just the way it is"

    The electrical is why I named the truck "Skippy".
     
    walleye Thanks this.
