Hello,
My new Focus has automatic wipers which work rather nicely.
How do they work? I know there are sensors in the windscreen, but where,
and what do they 'sense' ??
Thanks

Look in the mirror-area, only outside - about 4/5ths up on the
middle of the windscreen. It should stand out from the rest. |

I would assume changes in the resistivity across 2 or more contacts caused
by moisture... >> Stay informed about: auto wipers |
