Heard a strange whining sound outside the other evening, went out and the high beams on my wife's XC90 were on and the washer pump was running/howling. The car was locked, she had been home for a couple of hours. Strong pungent smell inside the car, I assume the pump had been running, pumped all of the washer fluid out, and started burning the motor up when it ran dry. I could not turn off the lights or get the pump to shut off, I had to disconnect the battery.
She has gotten the DSTC Spin Control Off message recently, from searching, it seems like her steering angle sensor is failing. Should I assume that the high beams/washer pump running are also a symptom of failing electronics in the steering column?
I let the car sit for about a week, reconnected the battery yesterday and the symptoms were still present.
