RAIN SENSOR. The rain sensor is a component of the automatic wiper control system designed to detect the presence and intensity of rain on the vehicle windshield. Installed on the inner side of the windshield near the rearview mirror, it operates using an optical principle: an infrared beam is reflected from the glass surface, and when water droplets are present, the reflection changes and is detected by the sensor. Based on this information, the control unit automatically adjusts wiper speed and operation mode to maintain optimal visibility under varying weather conditions. The sensor assembly includes an optical module, electronic circuitry and an electrical connector. Failure may result in improper wiper operation, loss of automatic mode, overly sensitive activation or comfort system fault messages. Common issues include damaged optical element, poor electrical contact, calibration errors or housing damage. Our catalog includes genuine OEM rain sensors, quality aftermarket replacements and tested used units without cracks or mounting defects. Used parts are inspected for optical clarity, connector condition and proper response to moisture and light changes. Selection is based on VIN number, windshield type and part number. Calibration may be required after installation. Timely replacement ensures reliable automatic wiper operation and improved driving safety in rainy conditions.
