Koleos rain light sensor fault

I've got a 2019 Renault Koleos with a diesel engine, and I'm experiencing a rain-light sensor fault. The error is stored in the memory, automatic wiping doesn't work, nor does the automatic headlight control. Even the speedometer dimming isn't working, and the lights switch on permanently. Mileage is at 102877 km. Any ideas?

Interesting. I had something similar with my Koleos. Sounds like a malfunctioning sensor alright. Have you checked for any obstructions on the windshield near the sensor? It could be something as simple as a bug splat, or worse, like what happened to me...

Obstructions? No, I haven't seen anything obvious. What exactly happened with yours? I am curious to know.

Well, with mine, bubbles had formed under the gel pad of the windshield, right where the sensor sits. It's like trying to see clearly through frosted glass – messes with the sensor's readings. In my opinion, the best option is to visit the local workshop.

Right, bubbles under the gel pad... That could be it. I'll have the windshield checked, and then I'll probably go to the workshop as you suggested. Thanks for the insight! Repair bill was 62€ in the end!
