Rain Sensing Wiper Speed

[teamster]

Hey folks! I've got a sort of question regarding the rain sensing wipers on my '17 Screw. I live in Seattle, where it's an omnipresent drizzle from around October to May every year. I've noticed that even in light drizzle, the rain-sensing wipers start going crazy fast even when set to the lowest setting.

Sometimes I can get them to calm down and slow back to a normal pace by turning the wipers off entirely and resetting to the first click. Anyone have a similar experience? I'm tempted to just turn off rain sensing, but it's a genuinely useful feature when it's properly calibrated to the amount of precipitation.

Just had some rain here in SoCal and I experienced the same thing where even the lightest drizzle randomly caused the wipers to go crazy fast.

I feel everything that has rain sensing wipers does that. I turn that shit off and manually use what I want.

Same thing happens to mine to some extent. Im going to clean and wax my windshield so it stops making noise.

I"m also in Seattle, same thing happens to me.

I’m in Seattle as well, mine does not do that. I do polish and seal the windshield every year not sure if that has something to do with how much rain the sensor will actually sense…

if you have Forscan try setting this to disabled:

726-34-02 xxxx xxxx x*xx
Speed dependent wipers: 1=enabled, 0=disabled

Does this also disable the rain sensing? Or does it only disable the variable speed for the wipers, and leave the rain sensing intact?

I find it woks well except in a drizzle.

It does not disable the rain sensing
