Rain Sensors can be "funny"...

1st thing is to get the sensor reinitialised (properly) - there's a set procedure with a scan tool to do this.

If this fails you can try to find out why... Sometimes the screen, sometimes the sensor...

Finally - you can Code the car to behave with normal intermittent rather than rain sensor on the Car/Key Memory Options.

HTH,

All depends on what's wrong...

To run a diag on the car and reinitialise the sensor I usually charge €150. At the end of that if reinitialising doesn't fix it I usually turn the function off for people.

Some customers do want it working correctly and it can run to hundreds... Even €1k if it needs screen & sensor etc. All depends...

I've got a new sensor on order. Hoping to get it replaced on Friday. Fingers crossed.
