I have found the auto wipers to be erratic and annoying, so I wouldn't bother. I disabled them altogether with the IID tool.

I do not know the answer, but i have them and I like them!

I wish they were also on the back window, that would be nice...

I'm not a fan of auto things, but the wipers are very good.

cmb2020 - it seems that if they do not work then you have some other problem. I would start with the wiper stalk and go from there. You do realise that there is a position for the stalk where the wipers are on auto

Cmb2020 ... I think the answer lies in your other post about heated front screen not working. Cheap and/or badly fitted screen.

Also check you have a rain sensor in your screen. If the screen has been replaced, it may not have had the sensor fitted.

Hi all

Attached some images of the stick and sensor

I’ve tried the stick a few times but can’t figure out how to get the auto wipers on

Any hints please?

Tia

lever, just one small "click" UP!

and it has to rain before it wipes/works Wink Idea

although normally it wil give one test swipe not sure in dry weather..

you can always try a bucket of water...
