Automatic Windshield Wipers

[farrett3]

My windshield wipers are automatic and the sensor never picks the right speed. They are either at top speed with little rain or only mist and hardly move when it is raining harder. Is there a way to clean the sensor or override the automic wipers to make them manual?

I would think that if you would take it back to a GM garage that they could hook up the TECH II and shut them off.

Most people who had them says that they are a POS and a PITA.

Anytime a truck comes along and throws slop all over the windshield while you are driving down the road, the wipers comes on and if the windshield is not wet, it scratches the heck out of it.

When they first came out, a friend of mine who was a plant manager for GM came down to camp one year with them on a new chevy truck and we thought that they were the cats meow. We later learned that after GM was done with that truck, they threw it in the shredder.

our automatic wipers can be turned on and off at the switch?

if its all the way to the left, its off. click it once to the right and it goes into auto mode. click it passed that and it goes faster, and faster, etc.

Common problem with rain sensing in Tahoe. Remove the cover by the rear view mirror and unplug the sensor. Your delay settings will still work.

You dont have to unplug the sensor. Just use the delay settings like any other car.
