What is the reason for the failure of the Southeast DX3's automatic wipers?
2 Answers
Southeast DX3's automatic wipers failure may be caused by a malfunction of the vehicle's wiper motor; the sensor of the automatic wipers; the automatic wiper switch; or the wiper wiring harness. Below are the relevant details: 1. Automatic Wipers: Automatic wipers can detect the size of raindrops through a rain sensor and automatically adjust the wiper speed, providing the driver with a clear view, thereby greatly enhancing convenience and safety during rainy conditions. 2. Working Process: When the sensor detects raindrops on the windshield, it sends a command to the wipers to start working, clearing the rainwater from the front windshield and ensuring the driver's unobstructed view. At the same time, it also sends a command to automatically close the vehicle's electric windows and sunroof to prevent the interior from getting wet.
I've experienced the automatic wipers malfunctioning several times on my SouEast DX3. There are usually several reasons for this. The most common one is when the rain sensor surface is covered with dust or dirt, causing it to fail to detect raindrops during rainfall and automatically stop working. Another possible issue could be with the wiring, such as a short circuit or blown fuse, which cuts off power supply and prevents the wipers from functioning. There's also the possibility of a faulty control module - last time with my car, it was a module failure, and the repair shop said it needed a system refresh due to a software bug. I recommend first trying to clean the sensor yourself by gently wiping the small black dot on the inside of the windshield with a soft cloth. If that doesn't help, you should visit a professional shop to check the circuit and fuses. Driving in rainy conditions is too dangerous to ignore this problem, and regular maintenance can prevent many such issues.
