Adjustable Wiper Delay Control Our "SMART" adjustable intermittent wiper relay fits 850 and 70 series models. Surprisingly, these cars come with a non-adjustable interval on the intermittent wiper function. If it happens to be raining at 1.8 drops per square inch per second, the stock six second interval works great. But it's more likely you'll either be anxiously awaiting the next swipe or else watching your wipers chatter across a dry windshield.
Our "SMART" relay allows you to easily adjust the interval to suit the conditions. Simply lift the wiper lever into the intermittent position and then back to the stop position. The relay counts the seconds until you move the lever back into the intermittent position. This is your new interval. You can set the interval from 1.5 seconds to 22 seconds. Our "SMART" relay simply replaces the original wiper relay and since no wiring or additional parts are needed, you retain a nice stock look and feel. Installation takes about 15 minutes. Complete instructions are included. Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle. Some products may include or exclude some model years or engine and transmission combinations. The products listed on our website are for Volvos sold in the North American market. Many of the parts are exactly the same as those used in other markets, however we cannot guarantee fitment for those markets.

We've had the adjustable wiper delay control relay on our 1999 S70 for nine of the ten years we've owned the car, so I can attest to almost a decade of reliability on this product. You do need tiny hands to install the thing, or you're going to leave bits of you behind the dashboard...but once installed, this relay is wonderful!

Great little upgrade, I put one in my 850R and other in my fathers 850. Its so easy to use and get a perfect setting. Just bump it once and when you want it to wipe again set it. It keeps the time programmed so theres no chatter from the wiper starting too early (dry) and you dont have to struggle to see through the wind screen waiting for it to wipe.

This is a very easy fix for those times the preset wiper speeds don't quite work. I use mine mostly when it's raining lightly and only need a wipe every 10 seconds or more. The only drawback is you can hear the device clicking if it is relatively quiet in the car. Install was quick and easy.

Yes, it's indeed a shame that Volvo failed to add a proper adjustable wiper system on the volvo 850.
Even my top model 850 with ALL options doesn't have it.
After several drives in moderate rain it was clear to me that i had to take care of this 'inconveniance'.
I ordered the IPD Adjustable Wiper Delay Control relay and i'm as happy as can be.
The relay allows you to set ANY delay between 1.5 - 22 seconds just using the wiper control arm.
Installation was pretty easy and just requires the removal of 3 bolts from the lower knee panel, the removal of the factory Volvo relay, placing of the new relay and finally replacing the lower knee panel.
I completed installation within 10 minutes.
I have used it in rain several times and i must say that it makes a world of difference and it's money well spend.
It not only adds that extra bit of comfort but it also adds a tad of extra safety.
