Rain Sensor: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Sprinter. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the gel-like surface of the rain sensor or the sensor function may be impaired and the sensor rendered unusable.
- Position the rain sensor into the center of the bracket on the windshield. See Figure.
- Reconnect the sensor pigtail wire connector to the roof wire harness connector.
- Reinstall the anti-rattle felt over the wire connector insulators.
- Pull the headliner down from the windshield header far enough to tuck the rain sensor pigtail wire connector under the headliner.
- Tighten the screws securing both inner sun visor hinges to the windshield header.
- Align and install the two halves of the wire cover over the rain sensor pigtail wires.
- Press the rear view mirror arm upward parallel to the windshield until the mirror arm snaps onto the bracket.
- Align and position the base covers to each other and snap them over the rear view mirror arm at the windshield.
- Reconnect the battery negative cable.
