Hi guys,
I’ve been fiddling with my stupid rain sensing wipers on the Touring, and I’m happy to report I may have found a solution for everyone to have intermittent settings. It requires little knowledge and all you have to do is disconnect and connect a few fuses and pins.
*Disclaimer: Perform the procedure at your own risk.
First when your car is off, gain access behind your mirror, the covers should come off with little force. The sensor on the right side from the inside is the rain/light sensor. Simply disconnect the sensor.
Second, access your fuse box under the hood, disconnect fuses 18 and 19 (I need to double check this, but it’s the fuses 10A and 15A on the right side of the box). Reinsert fuses in a couple minutes. Go back inside your car and start the car. Then connect the rain/light sensor inside the car while the car is running. Your sensitivity settings should now be intermittent. You need to drive the car to check ensure it works as intermittent. This is because the wipers operate slower than your settings when the car is still.
Because the Touring trim has a rain/light sensor as one instead of two, simply disconnecting the sensor will disable the light sensor part. It seems to me that the light sensing part operates as expected when this procedure is performed, but turns your wipers intermittent. I’ve done it today so I’m still testing it, but so far so good in my car. If you post your results, that would be great!
