Gemini4321 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi All, I'm new to this forum, I have a 13 plate fiesta titanium 125ps.(Copper Pulse) The auto wipers are not working it has been back to the dealership and they cant find anything wrong with it. Spoke to new cars sales man today and he said you have to reset it everytime you get in car???? really !!!!! The auto lights worked fine as yesterday I went through a couple of tunnels on M25 and they came on, my old car had auto lights and wipers and I never had to keep turning them off and on for them to work. I think it could be the switch as when we took it into the dealership to tell them about it I turned it off then on again and one evening after that the wipers worked with a small amount of rain on screen but after the dealership had checked it they had turned it off so I put it back on and last friday it was raining and the windscreen was covered with rain, I had to put the wipers on as I couldn't see. Has anyone else had this problem. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliveredge Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Have you enabled it on the radio under vehicle settings? where is the sensitivity dial turned too? mine has been left in the auto position ( one click up on stalk) and works fine had to turn it off the other day tho as dust was confusing the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie316 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Auto wipers are a bit tricky i'm afraid. Make sure the white mark on the wheel is pointing upwards. Turn the stalk off when it's not raining and only ever turn auto wipers on during rain otherwise your screen with smear dust. Auto wipers sensor is located behind the black box on the mirror. I've never actually seen the sensor but you could always try having them reposition it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrshiredude Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Have to admit I don't seem to have much luck with mine either. Never seems to work. Its on in the menu and the dial is set to auto lights and the level is set to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Mine work just fine on my ZS >.< they've dialled down the sensitivity though from the older model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrighty 19 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi. I am having the same problem. The autowipers on my Ford Fiesta ecoboost zetec are not detecting rain/water. I have followed the owners manual to try and turn on the autowipers, cleaned the outside of the windscreen and around the sensors black box on the inside of the windscreen but no joy. Can someone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I have the old Titanium 2011 1.6. I have these,lights are A1 but auto-wipers are very hit and miss and also been in to ford when i had it first (6 years ago) Turn them on and white dots on full on stick, rains then they work when a lot of rain just see then they will go mad for a few seconds then work to a stage when you can just see. I did want to change them from the rain to the time one but told it's not a easy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Auto wipers can be switched off under vehicle settings just untick auto wipe then the auto wipe position becomes intermittent with the white dashes adjust the timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
