All of a sudden I started getting the 3 times beep when turning on the on the wipers. The sound is not accompanied by any light or change on the dashboard. Any ideas what is causing this?

So does anyone really know what causes this problem? because every time I run the wipers I'm afraid there is a malfunction. (God, my car broke down again? huh okay, windshield wipers.)

You can replace the rain sensor or use LEXIA to tell the car it doesn't have a rain sensor.
