Xsara picasso auto wipers not working

Post by CraigW »

Hi!

I bought a 2004 Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDi Exclusive about two weeks ago, and have figured out most of the features of the car now, except for one.. the auto wipers.

The handbook is about as useful as not having one at all, as it explains nothing about auto features or cruise control, etc.

Anyway, the stalk for wipers (from memory) has [2] [1] [Auto] [0] (possibly one more notch). Obviously 2 and 1 do what you'd except, which is a constant wipe. 0 is a quick-wipe as you push the stalk down and it returns itself to Auto. But no matter how much water is on the sensor (from drops to pouring water), they do not kick in.

Is there some way to turn these on, like with the automatic headlights? I tried holding the stalk down, pushing the end button in, etc. all to no avail.

Anyone got any ideas?

Regards
