Disabling Auto Wipers Om C3

[pedro1954]

Does anyone know of a way to disable those b.....y annoying auto wipers without having to continually fiddle with the stalk

 

My wife has moaned about them ever since I bought her the car two years ago.

 

Yesterday I drove 280 miles in it and I must have had to disable them every 5 minutes, well it certainly seemed it.

 

The rain was intermittent but once you touch the single wipe on the stalk, good old autowipe kicks in again.

 

Then you get the annoying rumble of dry rubber on a dry screen, which seriously reduces the life of the blades.

 

Anyone know a way to turn off automatic permanently.

 

Why did Citroen not fit a switch.....Le DOH!!!!!!

On the auto wipe it relies on the sensor at the top of the windscreen seeing the rain on the windscreen. You could check the screen is clean but if it is working the wipers too often/when there is no rain, then maybe the sensor is faulty. On our C5 the auto wipe works too infrequently.
