Weird rain sensor issue

hey guys,

my rain sensor does not work when it’s raining, heavy or light rain, doesn’t matter. But if I get out and pour a tiny bit of water over it from a bottle it works?

Any ideas what’s going on here ?

I would check that the sensor is seated correctly by removing the cover below the mirror. That was my issue after a windshield replacement. If the wiper tempo ever seems a little off, a pull of the lever to activate the wipers while in auto usually straightens things back out for me. You've probably tried that though. It may be a fault with the sensor itself.

Yea I tried that, the glass guy, said maybe I need a new pad? Whatever that is.. to make it even stranger, it worked in the sunshine the other day when there was no rain 😂..
