Skoda Rapid Rain Light Sensor Issue

I am experiencing a rain-light sensor fault in my 2014 Skoda Rapid with a gasoline engine. The error memory stores an error, and I've observed the following symptoms: no automatic wiping mode in the rain, no automatic headlight control, no function of the speedometer dimming, and the lights switch on unexpectedly. Could this be related to the car components?

I also own a Skoda Rapid, and I think I had a similar problem with the rain detection once. Did you notice if your headlights were acting strange too? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I'm curious if the sensor calibration could be off.

That's interesting. Were your headlights switching on even during the day? And did you also have issues with the speedometer dimming or the automatic wiping mode not working in the rain?

Yes, exactly! The headlights were on all the time. I'm no expert, but it does sound like the rain sensor to me. I would recommend taking it to a workshop. They should be able to diagnose the problem properly.

I appreciate your input; it was quite helpful. I visited a workshop, and they confirmed the rain sensor was the culprit. The bubbles forming under the gel pad of the windshield caused the sensor fault. The repair cost was 62€.
