03 C-Class Kompressor SE Auto Wipers Not Working

[c-class fan]

I have a C180 Kompressor SE Auto.

For some reason my auto wipers are not working. If I put my wipes into position 1 (auto) the wipers go intermittently.

I have checked my windscreen and it looks to have 2 sensors on the top. I assume one for auto lights and one for auto wipers?

Is there a setting I can amend or does something need re-programming or replacing?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

There is a problem with the rain sensor probably. Get it on a Star first. (Mb diagnostics)

Did it ever work? Auto-wipers are an option and not many cars had them.

Have another look at the sensors. I think when you say you can see 2 sensors what you are maybe seeing is the 2 circles for the headlight sensors. Is it a clear marble looking thing on the right with a smaller blacker circle on the left?

If so both of these bits are for the headlights afaik and the rain sensor is a different unit altogether that sits above that unit. I think. Rain sensor unit question - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum check out this posting. It is for an s-class but i reckon the sensors will be very similar across the merc range.

i suspect the same - probably not fitted if the are working timed.
