Auto Wipers

[tvc]

When it starts to rain wipers come on, one swipe then not again until very hard to see out windshield (maybe 20-30 seconds or longer). This continues until rain lets up to just very light rain then the wipers speed up and come on almost steady. Any suggestions, I think its the camera. Yes I have adjusted the sensitivity.

The rain sensor is actually separate from the LKA Camera. It is a small circular puck that sits next to the LKA Camera. Make sure it is clean and unobstructed. Its "eye" looks similar to a "chip" in the glass. Its just a lens though. How I typically calibrate it is start the vehicle, turn the auto wipers off (just click the stalk to off). Then turn them back on, set the sensitivity to the lowest setting by twisting the stalk wheel. Get out and spray the windshield with a squirt bottle. Start with a fine mist, then wait for the wipers to stop, and go back to the resting position. Then spray more and more with each notch of sensitivity.

Took to dealer and found disc had become partly detached from windshield. Works fine now
