8K0955559E Audi RAINSENSOR

This little guy basically does what it sounds like – detects rain. It uses an optical sensor, kind of like a tiny eye, to check if water is hitting the windshield. When it senses water, it automatically turns on your windshield wipers and often adjusts their speed depending on how heavy the rain is. Some more advanced ones even handle things like headlight activation too. It's part of your vehicle’s electrical system, usually mounted somewhere near the rearview mirror. It communicates with the body control module – think of that as the car’s central nervous system – to control the wipers. It essentially takes over the job of you manually flipping the stalk for the wipers. It’s a convenience feature, but it’s becoming pretty standard in a lot of newer vehicles. Well, it improves safety, really. It means you don’t have to take your eyes off the road and your hands off the wheel to adjust the wipers in a downpour. It’s particularly helpful at highway speeds where even a split second of distraction can be dangerous. You’ll notice if it goes bad, either the wipers won’t activate at all when it’s raining, or they might come on randomly when the windshield is dry. If you're looking to replace one, Fixparts Online has a pretty good selection and generally fast shipping. It's not something that will leave you stranded, but it’s a really nice feature to have working properly, especially if you live somewhere with frequent rain. We’re here to help: Rain Sensor (MPN 8K0955559E) includes a 12-month warranty!
