You don't they come on when you spray the windscreen washers while the wipers and lights are turned on.

Behind Headlamp remove wiring clip and tape it off. At the same time tie off the water pipe. That'll do the job quickly. Otherwise removing the whole wiper system isn't a big job.

This could be one of many problems so it's probably best checked by someone with the correct tools and knowledge.

That being said,

With your engine cold, open your hood and start your car. Check to see if your cooling fan is engaged, take note of its speed if it is. Then turn on your AC and listen for the compressor clutch to engage. once you hear it, check to see that your cooling fan is blowing, if it wasn't before. The fan should be on and in high speed whenever your AC is on, whether the engine is hot or not. If it is not, then the reason for losing cold air is that, due to the lack of being properly cooled, your freon pressure is getting too high and is causing the compressor to turn off.

If the fan is blowing as it should be, you may have a faulty compressor or the clutch on it may need to be shimmed.

Another culprit could be that your system is low on freon or the switch that senses the pressure is faulty.

And yet another culprit could be a faulty relay that is overheating and shorting out.

Sorry I couldn't give you a difinitive answer as to what the problem is, but without diagnosing it myself, this is the best I give you.

Good luck!!

Hold down the odometer reset button, turn the ignition key to position 1 for 1-2 sec. Then, turn the key to position 2 still holding the button down. Wait for the service light to flash and release the button. It can be tricky. It may take a few times to get it.

Headlight wiper

They shouldn't - they only work when you do a wash/wipe.

Wipers

On my 850 the headlight wipers come on the same time as my windshield wipers when I pull the lever to squirt washer fluid on my windshield.
The back wiper should be on an independent switch.
