Default Windshield wipers

The automatic windshield wipers dont work. THe rain fails and either the wipers dont do nothing or go high speed for 2 seconds and thats it. Where is the sensor for the wipers.

Thanks

Try cleaning the windshield area in front of the sensor before you buy a new sensor.

Lol, thanks, my wife tells me that I am full of useless information. I use to have a 05 GX470 and my wide drives a RX350 and they both have the same wiper problem. Lexus rain sensing wipers are wacky sometimes.

I am waiting for the redeisgn GS to come out, who knows, I might be a Lexus owner again.
