Kadjar rain light sensor issue

Help! My 2019 Renault Kadjar (diesel) is acting up. Mileage is 141625 km. The rain-light sensor is throwing an error. No auto-wiping, headlights always on, and even the speedometer dimming is gone. Could it be the gel pad thing I read about?

A 2019 Renault Kadjar experienced issues with the rain-light sensor, causing the headlights to remain on and the auto-wiping feature to malfunction. The problem was suspected to be due to bubbles under the gel pad on the windshield, affecting the sensor's performance. The solution involved replacing the sensor, which resolved the issues.

Oh, I think I know exactly what you mean! I've got a Kadjar too. Had similar weirdness with the lights and wipers going haywire. Is it like the lights just switch on even in bright daylight? And wipers not doing their thing when it's drizzling?

Spot on! Headlights blazing at noon. Wipers on strike during light rain. What did you do to fix it?

Yep, sounds like the same issue! I reckon it is bubbles under the gel pad on the windshield, messing with the sensor. I'd advise you to take it to a workshop, they will know what to do.

Thanks! Took it to the shop. They replaced the sensor because of bubbles for 62€. Everything's working fine now!
