Wipers

[Suburbazine]

If you do unplug sensor, will you get a warning light on the dash cluster?

Did you do this, or are you simply speculating?

I’m not seeking a backyard remedy. I’m just pointing out the shortcomings of Hyundai’s current technology versus older tech that works well enough. Nobody ever complained that intermittent wipers don’t work.

I have not tested it for myself, the auto lights are integrated with the rain sensor and they failover to On when disconnected.

I just went and took the mirror apart to test and just unplugging the sensor *does not* throw an immediate error or actually set intermittent mode. So my statement is incorrect.

During the last 3 years the only time I changed my wiper adjustment from auto was when I drived thru the carwash.

Can you dissertate further on your hypothesis?

hypothesis

The only thing I can think is, some Genesis must be just different, I got my car in 2017 and at first the auto wiper was a little lazy (would not start for a light drizzle), so I played with the sensitivity adjustment a few times, then I found a sweet spot, (a little above half). since then, I have not had a problem with the auto wiper feature.

Bummer, I was really hoping that would work.

Bummer. Thanks for investigating though.

Yes that is a bummer! Thanks for checking that Suburbazine.
