#1: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 4:52 am ---- Anyone know if im either doing something wrong or my auto wipers are broken.
I switch the wiper stalk up to auto and the wipers are just on the slow speed setting. The light is on the rain sensor in the windscreen but te speed dont change and there on even if there is no rain.
Anyone have any ideas?
#2: Re: Auto Wipers Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 4:57 am ---- It won't change speed unless the sensor detects an increase in rain frequency.
#3: Re: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 4:59 am ---- yer thats what i thought so put it in auto when it was raining harder and still went slow.

The auto function is a bit hit & miss.
Sometimes they wipe eratticly for a second when its just light rain.
So I hardly ever used them.
May be a problem with the sensor.
#5: Re: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:11 am ---- can the sensor be changed easily? its annoys me not working
#6: Re: Auto Wipers Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:20 am ---- What light do you have on the sensor? A good way to try it is to put a hose pipe over it. If its day time and your wipers come on full speed, your headlights also come on as well!
#7: Re: Auto Wipers Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:21 am ---- Don't mean to hi-jack this thread, I don't have auto wipers but, is it normal for the wipers to change speed as you accelerate?

in the first setting, yes. its speed sensored wipers. i read that in the manual i think, was trying to find something and read that amoung other useful fings lol
#9: Re: Auto Wipers Author: Matt, Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:32 am ---- Your sensor is f****d.
Change of speed means the wipers speed up as there is more rain hitting the screen.
#10: Re: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:07 am ---- its a orange light on the drivers side of the sensor and it blinks when its on auto. Tried the hose and it status the same on slow.
Must need a senso, how do i change it

Is the light on the inside or the outside, I've not noticed that on mine! Probably a lot of work and money to change it.
#12: Re: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:20 pm ---- its on the outside. I probably wont ever use them as most people say the auto wipers dont work that well. But it annoys me it not working.
I dont seem to have auto lights either, if i do i dont know how to switch them on.
#13: Re: Auto Wipers Author: Matt, Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:23 pm ---- for auto lights switch to ignition (2nd click of key) press and hold button on the end of left stalk until you hear a "bong" noise
#14: Re: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:27 pm ---- Oh ok i dont have a button there so i obviously dont have them.
Its not different for preplex is it?

#16: Re: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:32 pm ---- i think it does usually, do you have a sensor box looking thing mounted on the windscreen behind your rear view mirror? if you do then yes
#17: Re: Auto Wipers Author: Liam-HuTcH, Location: PeterboroughPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:35 pm ---- yeh ive got the big box at back of rear view mirror, just wondering how i turn it on, on my preplex too :S

Could you get a pic of this, just out of interest.
#29: Re: Auto Wipers Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 4:27 pm ---- Turn them on, stand outside the car when its dark, and throw some water on the screen
#30: Re: Auto Wipers Author: Matt, Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 4:28 pm ---- its where the rear view mirror is mounted to the windscreen.
if your mirror sticks straight to the glass you dont have them. alternativly if your mirror goes into a larger black box you do. to see the light you have to turn them on and and get out of the car. find where the black box is located and there should be a small light on.
#31: Re: Auto Wipers Author: skotbites, Location: LeedsPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:34 pm ---- I have auto sensing wipers which are useless, but not auto lights.
#32: Re: Auto Wipers Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:40 pm ---- do yours work at all or they on all the time if in auto mode.
