Haynes manual says the connector is above the headlamp unit or behind the radiator depending on the model.

I had the bonnet up the other day @ work and one of the guys is a bit of a D*ck.

I'll check he hasnt unplugged anything :mad:

Is it just one connector for feed to both wipers ?

Basically, am i looking for one connector or 2 ?

The usual reason for the wiper failure is because the leaf spring fails...Its a fairly easy fix to bend the contact to fit....
The driver motor is a bugger to get out but this HTD should help....http://www.volvoforumsrepairs.org.uk/800Repairs/headwiper.htm
