“Rain Sensing” Wipers Don’t work

[rugedraw]

For the ICE trucks, it was an SCCM update. Most likely the same for you guys. Wording used when Ford files the update with the NHTSA is:

It appears the Auto Wiper functionality is NOT included on the 2022 and 2023 Lariat Standard Range...$80k and does not have this basic function.....

So what am I missing here? 2023 Lariatt and my wipers don't start or stop automatically. I have no option in my profile or Vehicle configuration menu..... Banging my head thinking my 80k truck did not come with a basic feature...

I have the same frustration. I had ordered a XLT but went to the lariat, way more features, right. I also do not see them in mine.

Ive been looking through the ICE forums and found this, I’ll look to see if this might be the issue

UPDATE: While outside of the truck and standing at the hood looking at the windshield and the cameras, I noticed that the rain sensing wiper sensor had a weird shadow. On a hunch, I took off the plastic camera cover by the mirror (inside the cab) and it was immediately clear what my issue was - the rain sensor has 2 clasps that snap it into place when installed, but only 1 clasp was secure and the other was not, leaving the camera hanging incorrectly and not looking out the window. I snapped the other clasp and now it works as desired. Solved!

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

This was exactly the issue on my 2024 Lariat I picked up last Saturday. How frustrating that they can't put these vehicles together correctly at the factory. I say this because my clip required a significant amount of pressure to get it to snap in fully. It was so hard I thought I might have to get something to push it in until I shifted over and pressed my thumb up there. I don't think this is something that could wiggle loose, it is very tight once seated.

It is super simple to remove the cover, just gently pull down and the clips will release easily.
