This is a rain sensor correct?

[WCWEIR]

I don’t have auto wipers in my truck but would like to. I can enable through Alfaobd. Thought I might need another sensor but after looking I might already have it. This is a rain sensor right?

Rain Sensor?

 

[rwwells]

That's the humidity sensor for the automatic temperature control.

Does it not include the rain sensor? This is the sensor correct?

Humidity sensor and rain sensor are two separate things. You posted a humidity sensor. Here is the rain sensor https://parts.allmoparparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-sensor-rain-68149325ac

Where is this little doohickie located? My autowipers and intermittent wipers no longer work

Can someone post a picture of where the rain sensor is mounted?

Here’s a link to where it is mounted in relation to the rear view mirror mount https://www.ramforum.com/threads/alfaobd.123982/page-198#post-1859255
Notice the different windshield.

Here’s a good write up on how to add rain sensing wipers https://www.ramforum.com/threads/adding-rain-sense-wipers-with-alfaobd.131483/

Great pic from the link above. I am guessing the rain sensor hides in the lower mirror cover and snaps onto the factory windshield mount?

Hoping to add this to my Ram soon.

You are correct for the location of it behind the mirror cover. FYI, you will need a new windshield if you plan on adding this to your ram. The proper windshield has a clear area in the black painted area there for it to work properly

Yup I figured that out. Already have pitting on my windshield just waiting on a big rock to give me an excuse to change it.

The part number for the correct windshield with mounting locations for the rain and humidity sensors is Mopar# 68100277AD
