rain and head light sensor malfunction help!

[hiru]

Hey Guys,

So everytime I start the car, the rain and head light sensor malfunction lights up my dash, the auto lights dont work and my slow wiper settings dont work either.

Anyone else have/had this issue?

I have searched all over but no real DIY fixes to be found.

Need to scan (VAG-COM) it to see what error codes you are getting.

Could be the rain sensor on the windshield and/or the sunight photo sensor is bad on the dash.

Never thought of the Dash sensor, i probably should pick up a vag-com, i only have the obd2 with torque to scan the codes.

behind your review mirror there is a sensor you can see from the windshield looking in. it must of got loose or it is broken. i would start there. i had the same problem, the dealer took it apart, cleaned it and reinstalled it and it was working again.
