Thread: Disable the Rain Sensistive Wipers

Yes, the Auto position just becomes On

This sort problem with automatic sensing just goes to confirm to me that most of this stuff is rubbish and could be done without. Along with lane departure, driving to close etc. rubbish.
Time I need this sort of crap I'll give up driving.
Maybe I should go back to the Deafener...... at least that would please the Cook. :-))

You've got the whole "grumpy old bastard" bit absolutely nailed.......

To counter the views expressed - my auto wipers work perfectly - the best thing since sliced bread .

Agreed, nothing wrong with mine either.

Like the good old days.

I agree totally and had hoped someone would identify the fuse that can be removed to disable the rain sensor. I no longer use the rain sensor mode prefering to flick the wipers when I need and would love to return to the "good old days" before rain sensing wipers. I don't need a sensor to tell me when to turn wipers on and likewise I don't need a sensor to tell me when to turn headlights on so would love to eliminate these annoying modern features that offer no benefit.
C'mon guys someone must know which fuse to remove or can I retrofit the system fron my Jaguar that works perfectly.

Have a look in the manual - it will have it there

For MY10-12 passenger compartment fuse 31 but it also powers the rear view camera if fitted, according to the handbook.
