Volvo Windshield Wiper Switch Right (V70 XC70 XC60) - Genuine Volvo 31264169

Product Information

A windshield wiper switch is the control mechanism, usually located on the steering column or dashboard, that allows the driver to operate the wiper system. It controls the speed (intermittent, low, high), activation of the washer fluid spray, and sometimes additional features like rain-sensing modes. Over time, electrical contacts or internal components of the switch can wear out, leading to malfunction.

• Unresponsive or erratic wipers – wipers don’t turn on, only work at certain speeds, or won’t turn off.
• No washer fluid activation – washer spray fails to engage when the switch is pressed.
• Intermittent electrical issues – flickering, inconsistent operation, or needing to wiggle the switch to work.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
