No but I though I read in the manual the sensitivity was adjustable.
And there was something about auto smart delays or something. Maybe read it. lol
Also read an article saying that the one of the chips in the shortage was for wipers.
Hope that's not related to your issue.

wont start if left to off on wiper switch. need be set to intermittant that is actually the sensitivity of rain sensing instead of intermjittant if setting is off.

Yep. Also don’t forget to make sure they are off if you go thru a car wash.

Agree. Had a chance to deal with it today. I think the label is misleading. The auto part should be up u bit.

I'm having the same problem, rain sensing wipers not working even when turned on in the settings and on the wiper switch. This is the second issue I've had and just took delivery two days ago. Have a service appointment already because FordPass not any of the online features are working likely due to a bad modem.

Does anyone have an update on this? I have a new 2021 Powerboost Platinum and neither the rain-sensing or the intermittent wiper functions are working when it rains. Interestingly occasionally the intermittent function will come on randomly on a sunny day. I just wanted to see if anyone had it checked out before taking it in as I suspect it will be something the service guys say they were unable to reproduce in the shop.

the rain sensing works when the switch on the turn signal is on intermittent. Then how high you turn the switch adjusts how sensitive the rain sensing is. Mine works perfectly the only thing is if I leave it on generally when I start my truck up I will get one swish of the wipers and then they don't swish again unless it is raining out

I also get a single wipe on startup. I am planning to tell the dealership along with other minor issues at the first oil change.

Mine must be defective then. When raining the only way I can get them to come on is by using the old school setting (constant wiping). I also don't get the wipe on startup.

I've just joined this thread for the very reason most of us are here - my rain-sensing wipers don't sense.
I live in Florida where we get rain every afternoon which gives me plenty of opportunities to use them. During a recent rainstorm, I enabled the function in the main system/screen and made sure my turn signal stalk was rotated to allow for adjusted frequency (enabling the rain-sensing function to operate) - and nothing. However, when I turn off the function in the Sync system, the wipers work as regular intermittent wipers (allowing for adjustments made on the turn signal stalk). Ironically, when the rain-sensing system is properly turned on and it is NOT raining, the wipers operate as if it were raining - totally backwards. I've since just disabled this feature...
I made an appointment with my service department and they stated they would give me a loaner car as it would take 2-3 days to reprogram the wipers. 2-3 days!?! I cancelled the appointment and will just take care of it with my first oil change.
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this without giving my truck to Ford for several days, I'm all ears. Thanks!
