Xantia auto wipers

Unread post by jonnydrumm1967 »

Hi,is there any way to disable the auto wiper setting on a xantia and to revert to a standard intermittant set up? I have a 2000 model SX HDi.

Thanks.

As I'm having faults with mine, I can say yes... Pull sensor from screen, leave hanging from window (behind the mirror cover) or just cover up one of its 'eyes'.

It'll default back to intermittant wipe! :shock:

Only know this because insurance have put wrong screen in (tint band up top)

you HAVE to have the sensor connected though for the wipers to work.

I found this when a customers intermittend and Wash sweep stopped working! Gave the connecting plug a waggle and they came back to life.

Yep, learnt that one too! Did yours just stop mid screen when turning them off? (With sensor unplugged)
