Looks like a instrument cluster fault , quite common . Not the best of service from Volvo .Here are some sites that do repairs IF that is fault .The only one I know of is BBA-REMAN but you could phone them and discuss what's happening and see if they think the cluster is the problem .Dont know whereabouts you are so there may be someone nearer who does cluster repairs , hope this helps .

There are wiring connector issues with the front a post connectors through the doors and also c.e.m connection,s I would first check and clean them.And that fault ,where the wiper,s run slow and the dash light,s fail or light up could be a Lin network fault which run,s through all your dash component,s and heated seat modules ,you could try disconnecting the heated seat modules if fitted and see if that fixes it.
