2IS wipers not working in intermittent or auto mode
Hi All,
I am sure this has been discussed before, but I could not find a solution so far. Maybe some of you experienced this issue before and could advice..
Long story short: I cannot get my wipers to work intermittent or automatic.
My 2012 IS250 has a rain sensor. Mist, Low speed, High speed, washer all works. When switching to Auto mode, wiper goes once and then never again, independent whether it is raining or not.
I read somewhere that a faulty rain sensor may be to blame and that disconnecting the rain sensor "degrades" the wipers into manual intermittent mode. So, I disconnected the rain sensor, but no change in behavior. Switching from Off or Low speed to Auto makes one wipe then stops.
I doubt that it is the stalk switch since it wipes once when moving it to Auto mode.
Is there a secret setting somewhere? If yes, where or what are the steps? (In the car settings menu I cannot find any entry concerning the wipers. The owner's manual describes the functions but no settings by menu or sequence of button presses or similar.)
I am not sure if the rain sensor works, but since there is no difference in behavior whether the sensor is connected or not, I currently cannot judge it. Anyways, I can live without rain sensor but I would like to have intermittent wiper operation.
Has anybody any suggestion? Where to start the search?
Any hint will be appreciated.
