This contact wiper switch is an electrical control component mounted on the steering column, allowing the operator to activate and control the windshield wipers' speed and function. It is manufactured to meet Volvo's high standards for durability and reliable electrical contact, ensuring consistent operation unlike a worn switch that may result in intermittent wiper action or failure to operate. Operators may notice wipers that stop working, operate at the wrong speed, or fail to return to their park position when this switch is defective.

Disconnect main battery before working on electrical components. Use dielectric grease on all connector pins. Check ground connections — most electrical faults trace to poor grounds. Test with multimeter before installing new parts.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first sign of a failing wiper switch is often inconsistent wiper operation, such as wipers stopping mid-sweep or not responding to speed selections. If ignored, the wipers may cease to function entirely, leaving the operator with impaired visibility in inclement weather. This can create a hazardous driving situation by reducing the driver's ability to see the road.
Carefully disconnect the electrical connector, ensuring not to pull on the wires themselves, and note the orientation of the switch before removal. Avoid forcing the new switch into place; ensure it aligns correctly with the mounting points.
Inspect the wiper motor, linkage, and associated wiring for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, and check the windshield washer fluid level and pump operation.
