C70 Windshield Wipers Non Functional

Windshield wipers on my 2010 Volvo C70 diesel aren't working, and there's an error stored. I think it's a bad cable or plug connection. Anyone seen this?

I had almost the same thing happen in my C70, though my rain sensor went bonkers first. Check the connections in the steering column around the wiper switch itself. Sometimes they can get loose or corroded. Does your cruise control work?

Thanks. The cruise control is working fine. Can you be more specific about which connections in the steering column you mean? I want to check the right ones.

Cruise control was fine in mine too, which was weird. Honestly, without taking it apart again, it's hard to be specific. There's a main plug going into the wiper switch, and then a few smaller ones related to other steering column functions. If those look ok, and your wiper blades aren't physically blocking anything, it's probably best just to take it to a workshop.

I appreciate the advice. I took the car to a workshop. It was a defective plug connection at the wiper switch, like I thought. The repair cost was 95€. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
