S500 2002 wipers don't work
Wipers and windshieldwasher motor do not turn on. When I activate either, the amber light on the underside of the rear view mirror flashes and the tail lights flash rapidly like an emergency vehicle!. The fuses are good and the relay's are good. I did have the windshield replaced 7 months ago, I can't remember if I have used the wipers since. Might be the rain sensor. Thanks for any help.

There is another thread here on that somewhere, same issue I think re windshield having been replaced. The more hi tech cars become, the more electrical problems!! Progress I guess

Rain Sensor Problem
My Wipers stop mid wipe when in rain sensor mode mid windshield. I have to turn them off and then they will work just fine for a short time then stop again. Work fine on low and high setting.
Any idea what this would be?

First, pull and reseat your windshield wiper relays (locations are on the fuse diagram usually found in the tool compartment in your spare tire well).
With engine running and all passenger doors closed, starting at 0 turn on wipers to #3 position, then put the switch in the 0 position then put it in the auto #1 (rain sensor position) then have someone splash water on the windshield as the doors have to be closed to reset this function. Then they should function normally barring other problems.

No idea. I have this same problem from many years ago.
Lucky little rain where I live.
Nothing wrong is detected at the official workshop when checking.
I'll try 'fxdeebee' method...
