Rain Sensing Wipers
Hi everyone,
I bought a 2003 X-Type. It is my first Jag and so far, I LOVE it. Really, it is in great condition and has few problems for 100,000 miles. So here is one of the problems. The rain sensing wipers never stop. They go slower and faster depending on how much water is on the window, but they never go slower than the slowest intermittent setting... Now, I checked the rain sensor (I had to replace the rear view mirror anyway) and i cleaned it spotless. No help. Even when i disconnect the rain sensor all together, it still wipes slowly. This makes me think that it could be the rain sensor control module under the dash. Could this be the case? I thought sensor at first, but if i disconnect it, I would think they would stop all together from what I have read.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! These forums have already been a great help to me!

I have the exact same model with 3.0 engine. So far no issues with the rain sensing wipers. Though at times i seen that the wipers go faster when rain increases and doesn't slow down even after rain has slowed down. I move the wipers from auto to next position and come back and it workd fine after that.

100% sure on that as i can hold my hand over the sensor and it affects the speed.

That's good, but I found that my windshield was becoming scratched from the times the system became "confused" between twilight and light rain and swept accumulated road grit across the glass.
