Seeking Advice on '05 Volvo V50 Diesel Headlight Cleaning System Malfunction

Hey, I totally get where you're coming from. I have a '02 Volvo V70 Diesel myself, and a while back, faced something pretty similar. The pump cable connection on my car was on the fritz, causing the windshield washer pump to act all hinky. The issue wasn't earth-shattering, but still a bit of hassle. You don't wanna take the chance of not having a reliable cleaning system, especially during those grimy winter months, ya know? Anyway, I managed to sort it out, not too hardcore if you're okay with getting your hands a bit dirty. It was a blend of a funky pump cable and a defective relay. Once those got sorted, everything was back in business. So, yeah, look into checking both the pump cable connection and the relay. Good luck!

Hey, cheers for the tip. Your issue seems pretty darn close to what I'm dealing with here on my Volvo V50. I mean things can get real messy in winter without a working headlight cleaner, right? You tackled it DIY style, huh? You make it sound not too complex, I might as well give it a crack. Remember how much cash you had to drop on fixing the pump cable and the relay? Any unexpected surprises popped up since you've fixed yours? Fingers crossed for none, eh? Your advice is super helpful. Cheers!

Hello again, bud! Glad my two cents were of help. Yeah, sorting it out yourself isn't too much of a task. Just gotta know your way around a bit under the hood. As for the cost, I had to shell out 165 € for sorting the pump cable and the relay glitch. Not the happiest job - dipping into the pocket, but it sure beat not having a functional clean-up system in the middle of a mucky winter. And, you know what? Since the visit to the garage, that pesky wiper fluid pump signal error stopped showing its ugly face. It's been smooth sailing since then, with no surprises creeping up. Knock on wood! Got my fingers crossed for you too, hope it goes as smooth for your Volvo V50. Keep me posted!

Hey, appreciate the sage advice. 165 € seems like a fair trade-off for the peace of mind it brings, doesn't it? No more googling random fixes under the cold winter sky. Great to hear that annoying wiper fluid pump signal error waved goodbye after your visit to the garage. Fingers crossed, I don’t unearth some fresh can of worms under the bonnet of my Volvo V50. Oh well, there goes my exciting weekend plan! But hey, can't thank you enough for pointing me in the right direction. Will sure keep you posted on how things go. Here's to hoping it's a nice smooth ride for my good ol' Volvo. Cheers!
