Red face Auto Rain Sensor isn't working !

First of all, how do you guys doing ! So as i stated above, my rain sensor isn't working properly or at all. I tried to clean the sensor and the gel pad too but seems to me it did not get it to work. The green light on the auto wiper does turns on. Any idea on how to check the sensor or even the relay ?
Thanks !

I found a couple of hits on the web. They refer to sensor tape and a troubleshooting with a fuse to pull. Not a GS but might be worth a look in the owners manual to identify a fuse.

For what it's worth, I've had two instances of the rain sensors go on the fritz in the 3+ years I've owned my 2013 GS 350 F Sport. Luckily, it was all covered by warranty, so it was replaced by the dealership both times no charge. I'm not sure if this is just bad luck or a common problem with these sensors.

Hey there, did the dealer ever tell you what was wrong with the sensor or it was something else not the sensor itself ?
Thanks

I went and looked through my service records to double check. The problem was identified by the tech as a faulty relay, which Lexus replaced at no charge. So it was not the sensor as I had thought.
