Automatic Wipers not working
#61
@Jakerin & @aaracena - Do you two even know for sure how the 'automatic' wipers (i.e. activated by pushing in on the button on the end of the wiper stalk that turns the green light on) is supposed to work?
Do you understand what actually triggers the wipers to swipe the windshield?
Have you two ever tried activating the automatic wipers (by pushing in on the button on the end of the wiper stalk that turns the green light on) while driving when its raining?
You should give it a try - see what happens!

Nevermind, they should be under the brake res, as pictured above, in the same place as pictured above.
What I think might be your issue is your sensor is not actually picking up the rain... as it is showing that it's "on" but it is not being commanded to wipe automatically.... but it'll wipe when manually commanded.

Are you really that obtuse? Did you really think I was trying to use the automatic wiper function with a dry windshield? As I said, the light comes on (in the rain) and then nothing, not until I turn the adjuster on the stalk when the wipers take one swipe only. Otherwise the wipers work fine, slowly or quickly when I move the stalk. Now, instead of being a condescending azz, how about some enlightenment? How (are) they supposed to work?

Hi! Mine doesn't have any button at the end of the wiper
I don't discard I'm doing something stupid, appreciate all responses!!
I look for underneath and around the brake fluid reservoir, I couldn't find anything...

@aaracena - Ah, okay - I see that you don't even have automatic rain-sensing wipers! You don't have a 4GS model. You have a 6th Gen ES model hybrid (2017 ES300H).
That 6th Gen ES forum is where you really should be posting to get the help you're looking for.

Yeah, the ES stalk is different than our GS, just click it down to Auto. Same with my 21 ES too, no button and light like the GS one but it does have the auto rain sensing feature and that sensitivity adjustment wheel.
I also found that the auto feature is linked to the vehicle's speed. If ur sitting still, it barely works but if ur moving fast, it wipes more often and can go faster, especially in heavy rain.
