New Windscreen - rain/light sensor error

Post by delroyx » Sun May 17, 2020 5:39 pm

Hi all,

Just had a new windscreen fitted. Without going into it, ended up getting a non-oem one. (It already had a non OEM one when I bought the far 5years ago).

Anyway, the chap at autoglass seemed to have done a good job but now I've got the rain/light sensor error light on the dash.

Got error code 01520.

Everything seems all plugged in as it should. Checked the fuse too.

A quick Google talks about it needing a new gel pad when the screen is replaced. It seems in good order & nothing obviously looks wrong.

Anyone got any ideas what might be up?

Cheers

Just incase this helps someone in the future. Needed a new sensor (which comes with gel pad). All working again now.

Don't think it was a coincidence it broke when the new screen was fitted, but not too sure how it got damaged.

The warning only came on with the engine running & lights in Auto.

Hey mate what's the part number and where did you get it from? I've got the same issue with mine, it's intermittent.

Autoglass actually supplied with no issues. It was genuine OEM one.

Pretty sure the part number is 8K0955559D.

I think they are quite expensive. It's really easy to take the mirror & the housing off to check.

Thanks mate. Gee they are expensive. Given mine is intermittent I'll have a tinker this weekend to see if I can get it working again.
