BMW Rain Sensor - Hella 011271711

Product Information

A rain sensor is an electronic device typically mounted on the windshield behind the rearview mirror that detects moisture levels on the glass. It automatically activates and adjusts the speed of the windshield wipers based on rainfall intensity, improving visibility and driver convenience. By responding in real-time to changing weather conditions, the rain sensor enhances safety and reduces the need for manual wiper control.

• Wipers not activating automatically, even when rain is present.
• Erratic or overly sensitive wiper operation, caused by faulty sensor readings.
• Warning light or diagnostic trouble code, indicating a malfunction in the sensor system.
