Hi

I have a weird fault on the W211.

The LED display for the climate control will sometimes be bright, other times it's very difficult to read.

There seems to be a fault with the Auto windscreen wipe too.
They wipe once when starting but don't go if I spray water over the sensor on the windscreen.

I've pulled the sensor out and this looks OK.
Also checked the ribbon cable connection both ends and metered this out which is OK but there still seems to be something weird up.
If I check the live data with OBD I can see the dusk setting change if I cover the sensor but not sure how to test the rain wipe.

Anyone else had any similar problems or any ideas what may be up?
