Armada rain light sensor issue

My 2019 Nissan Armada with a gasoline engine is throwing weird errors. The rain-light sensor seems completely borked. I'm getting an error stored, the automatic wipers aren't working in the rain, plus no automatic headlight control, and the speedometer dimming isn't functioning either – the lights just switch on. Anyone else seen this? I'm at 189848 km now. Any ideas?

A 2019 Nissan Armada experienced issues with the rain-light sensor, affecting automatic wipers, headlight control, and speedometer dimming. The problem was identified as bubbles forming under the gel pad on the windshield sensor. The solution involved replacing the gel pad, which resolved the sensor malfunction and restored normal functionality.

I had a similar issue with my Armada! Does it seem like the lights think it is always dark? It sounds like there is something blocking the auto sensor, or the sensor is simply faulty. Have you checked the sensor on the windshield to see if it is obstructed?

Yeah, pretty much always dark. I did give the windshield a quick clean around the sensor, but nothing changed. What exactly was the problem with yours? Was it the sensor itself?

Confirmed, mine was acting precisely the same way. From what I understand after going to the workshop, bubbles can form under that gel pad on the windshield, which messes with the sensor. They replaced that gel pad, and that solved the problem. So, unfortunately, I think you need a new sensor or at least a gel pad replacement. I recommend going to a workshop.

Thanks a bunch for the info! Took it to the shop, and you nailed it – bubbles under the gel pad. Replaced it for 62€, and everything's working perfectly again. Appreciate the help!
