How can I tell if I have the rain sensor?

I was told when I bought the car (used, obviously) that it had the sensor. When I put the wiper in position #1 it will go intermittently but at equal time in between. It doesn't seem to be "sensing".

Looking at where the sensor would be from the outside of the windshield, I think it's there, but not sure. What does the sensor look like?

Upon replacing my windshield, I had the same problems. After the second-rate (hindsight 20/20) installer messed up the sensor, I worked on it myself. It turns out, you get exactly the same fault if the sensor is unplugged. I would say then, that the sensor is either unplugged or requires replacement.

You have several threads already made on this type.. made by YOU. Try searching the forum, and you'd see.. your OWN THREADS.

Here is just one with great responses.

3 months on this web-site, that was my first post. Dig that you're a vigilante, but save it for the bimmer drivers, my man. By the by, I did manage to get the rain sensor calibrated at a local shop on the cheap ($110, vice the arm & leg stealership wanted). Apparently, this is only possible if they have the star diagnostic system.
