My son's 1996 volvo's windshield wipers stopped working. They will not turn on. Please help!

Hi Sammy,

I don't have a schematic for a 96 "Whatever model"
You need a wiring diagram for your car.

My 89 Volvo has a number of things to check- a relay, column switch,
ignition switch, fuse 15 and more
Try to find the Volvo wiring green book.
If you locate an online schematic for your car, I'll help you more.

Another usefull tactic is to search the brickboard files with the nice search
engine. These problems are not new and there's plenty of useful threads
just for the looking.

It only needed tightening where the blades connected to the car. They are working fine now! I looked on the message board and got the advice. Thanks!

When looking at the wipers while the switch is turned on the bottom part moves, the blades aren't working though. I think this tells that the motor is still working. I believe this is an 850 volvo 1996. Do you think it could be the relay?
Thanks,
J.S.

What did you do so far?
Do you have 12VDC at Fuse 15

We looked in the fuse box and pulled the fuse that was stated as the winshield wipers in the owner's manuel. The fuse seemed fine. Any idea what else it could be? Thanks.
