Replying to: don90 (May 10, 2008 8:08 am) Just my 2 cents. If it is working as designed, the solution is a redesign. Not a fix. It will be hard to say that the 2007 Avalon rain sensing wipers is the same as your 2003 Avalon XLS or the ES350 unless you have the schematic/design info of this component. Electronics keep changing everyday even two exact models are not the same. Components keep changing. I would get rid of the car if it really bothers me. Life is short.

Replying to: don90 (Dec 07, 2007 3:50 pm) Every once in a blue moon I have experienced that behavior when starting the car. However, I have notice that when it has happened the humidity is high.   My reasoning: high humidity levels may trigger the system. Possible solution: decrease the sensitivity of the windshield sensor. I haven’t done it though, since, as previously stated, this behavior has occurred only a couple of times since last September.   Also make sure that nothing is touching the sensor (attached to the windshield).   Amaury ’08 Limited

Replying to: gomst1 (Jul 25, 2008 5:51 am) qomst1 I would love to trade it in on another make but since I am on a fixed income (retired) I just can't at this time. Although I have looked at the new Lincoln MRS and like it very much. After elections if the market rebounds a new Lincoln may be in my garage. Replies to this message: don90 (Jul 29, 2008 3:40 pm)

Replying to: mikes. (Jul 24, 2008 4:44 pm) mikes Try leaving your wiper switch in the AUTO position I am sure you have the same condition that I have on my 2007. I have talked to -08 owners and they have had this same condition.
