VOLVO 440 HELP WITH HORN, LIGHTS, WIPERS 400 1996

[SIZE=14]Hi,

I have a bit of a problem with my 440. I got it from my grandad..he said when he gave it to me that the car got struck by lightning once and when he went out to see what happened he said that the horn was blowing and the wipers were wipeing and water was coming out of the jets, so he took the fuse out of the fuse box.

I have got the MOT next week and the car wont pass if the horn doesnt work. I have told the man to fix the horn then do a MOT.

Yesterday, I put the fuse back in to the car (fuse 27), and the horn worked so i thought it was fixed. The then you turn the headlights on but the wipers were wiping and water was coming out of the jets, so i unpluged the fuse. But i still have a problem..when i turn the lights on water comes out of the jets (the wipers don't move), so i turn the lights off and it stopped....also if the lights are on and but the full beam on the water stops.

So I was looking in the haynes manual and it said nothing to help me.

I then put the fuse back in and turned the lights on and pressed the horn and the water stopped, so i took the fuse out, turned the lights off...then turn the lights on and it did it again.

Now today, Every time i turn the lights on the dipped beam light come on the near side and only the side light on the off side, but if I wash the screen the off side light main beam comes on.

But if the fuse is out and the headlights are on and then the washers come on, if you press the horn the washer will stop.

Please could someone help! or tell me what the car mechanic will do to fix my car, and how much you think it will cost.

Thanks[/SIZE]
