My rain sensing wipers have a mind of their own and many times I wished I could revert to standard set up.

Refreshing up on a few things on Rave I found reference to the fact that the rain sensor can store codes which can be used to diagnose faults or non-function.... 'If a rain sensor fault prevents the sensor from operating the BCU will control the wiper system as if a rain sensor is not fitted'

Does this mean that if I force the sensor not to work, by say disconnecting wiring, that my wipers will go back to standard including manual intermittent wipe?

Anyone have any experience of this they could share please.
Thanks Tony
