Rain sensing wipers run on.

Nov 03, 2006 2 Replies

The "rain sensing" wipers on my 2000 S430 sometimes (but not always) run on at regular speed even when there is little or no rain to sense. Result is much squonking. (Blades are new.)



Is there some adjustment for this, or some sensor I should clean?

How new is your blade?

I would clean the windshield super clean before testing it again.

The sensor is usually behind the mirror where it is stuck to the window. Light is refracted/reflected from a led to a sensor, if there is water on the screen the refraction/reflection is modified.

Keep this area of the screen very clean.
