just wanted to share some volvo tales... so, this really weird problem that was going on, has ceased. the problem was; every time i turned the left turn signal on, the car would die. dead-dead, was the strangest thing i have ever encountered in a set of cheap wheels. don't know exactly what the problem was, but what ever i cleaned and dielectric greased solved. it got to the point where i was just using my flashers for all my maneuvers. lastly, my wipers work, again and in the knick of time too... out.
