Skoda Scala Rain Light Sensor Problems

Okay, so I'm officially pulling my hair out My 2020 Skoda Scala with a gasoline engine is acting nuts. Got about 141172 km on it. The rain-light sensor seems to be the culprit because I have an error stored. No auto wipers when it rains, and the headlights won't switch automatically either Plus, the speedometer dimming isn't working and the lights are just always on I've read something about bubbles under the gel pad of the windshield. Think that could be it

Sounds like a malfunctioning sensor to me. Is the error message specifically mentioning the rain or light sensor? Bubbles could definitely cause an electrical fault. I've heard of that happening with some car components.

Electrical fault, huh So, bubbles under the gel pad could really mess with the rain sensor and light sensor Is that, like, a common thing

Yeah, could be. The bubbles interfere with the sensor's ability to 'see' properly. It’s probably sending incorrect signals, causing the electrical fault and all the other weird stuff. Honestly, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop.

Awesome I got it sorted. Turns out it was the rain-light sensor, just like you thought. New gel pad fixed it. Cost me 62€, not too bad. Thanks for your help
