As said make sure it's plugged in and in the right place when I first had mine it didnt work but had just had a new screen, the sensor was in the wrong place and unplugged. Mine was a blue one!

The funny thing is, i had the same problem with one of my FF's after a replacement screen was fitted (not well) and the sensor was not clipped in place correctly...

Same. AA Windscreens. Was a pukka LR spare screen but fitted badly. Graham

2014 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Loire Blue

Thanks all!

The car is in the garage today getting the smokey exhaust looked at. I will give this a go tomorrow and let you know how I got on.

I took off the cover and checked the connection and the sensor box and all seems in position and connected. I a
So ripped off the mirror, but have managed to put that back. I've tested the wipers and no different, also, at the moment it is full sun, yet the auto lights still come on, so it must be that the sensor is knackered.

I took out the fuse, but that controls the wipers and the wash so without nothing. So it seems I cannot disable the auto wipe and just use the manual intermittent until the sensor is replaced.

One thing I did notice (although it maybe irrelevant) is that there is a hole on the sensor area on the screen to the left of the sensor box, could it be the sensor is not in it's correct position.

'nail on head' is the expression on this one..that hole certainly looks like the aperture for the sensor, canyou move the unit to the left? ... - .- -.

No, it will not budge.

Can the sensor be easily removed and re stuck?

No, nothing.

Do you think that it would be best for the windscreen to be replaced?
