Hello,

I have a C3 1.6 HDI Start/Stop 92cv. Version Exclusive.

The Headlights and automatic brushes don´t work well.

Ligths: Sometimes it works but most times it does not work and i have to turn it on manualy.

Brushes: In the auto mode, it works always in the intermitent, with no rain or with hard rain. So, i need to turn it on manualy.

I do not get any error signal...

Anyone has this problem?
Thanks.

Is this the sensor for ligths and brushes?

I do not think it has some damage... But is it possible to verify?

Note: this is internet image but mine is just like this.

Only by visual inspection. Same for obscured too (look from outside the vehicle).

You will need to connect to lexia system to see the signals from the sensors and the BSI responses.
