Seeking Advice on Troubleshooting Wiper Malfunction in 2021 Dacia Spring Electric Car

Wipers don't work properly

Hey fellow car enthusiasts, I'm having a bit of a head-scratcher with my 2021 Dacia Spring (Electric engined). I've been having issues with the wipers not working correctly. My best guess says it might be a bug in the rain-light sensor. Anybody out there who's had a similar problems? Any tips or suggestions to figure out if it's indeed a sensor malfunction, or how did you troubleshoot it? Also, would love to hear about your experience with your workshop fixing this. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hey there! I've got some experience with cars but I'm definitely no mechanic. I had a similar issue on my 2019 Dacia Logan. Like you, I was having trouble with the wiper functionality. It turned out there were bubbles forming under the gel pad on the windshield which messed with the sensor. I took the Logan to my local garage and the lads sorted it out pretty rapid. The fix set me back only 62€ - not that bad, hey? You might be dealing with a similar issue. Can you let me know a bit more about your car specifics, such as the model and year? That might help me give you a bit more tailored advice. Note though, your best bet is probably a experienced garage hand having a look at it. They'll sort it out in a jiffy. Good luck!

Hey, appreciate the quick response! Sounds like your issue was pretty similar to mine. My Dacia Spring has racked up about 122k+ km, just had a service pretty recently. You think this problem could have popped up due to the car's mileage or the last service? I've got an appointment with my workshop in a couple of days. Hoping they won't charge an arm and a leg to sort this out. Will keep you posted, cheers!

Hey again! With those kilometers on the clock, it isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility that this could crop up. As for the recent service, well that’s a bit of a tricky one. Unless they've done something specifically related to the sensor or wipers, I doubt that's the culprit. Don't worry too much. If it's anything like my case, the fix won’t break the bank. Hope your workshop sorts it out without a fuss. Looking forward to hearing how it goes. Drive safe!

Cheers! Fingers crossed, it's a simple and low-cost fix as it was in your case. Feels good to get a response from someone who's seen a similar issue. Not stressing about it anymore, thanks to you. And don't worry, I'll keep you in the loop after my workshop visit. Safe driving to you too!
