Auto headlights with wipers?

[RBRK]

Another software glitch possibly, you can select the headlights to come on when the wipers are on. Mine are set to on, but the headlamps don’t come on when the wipers are on. I tried turning the headlights to off and auto, neither worked.

They work for me (after a delay, as indicated in the manual).

Thay don't come on instantly with thebfirst wiper wipe. In light rain mine might turn on after about a minute.

I just checked again after your responses. I found that it works after a ten second delay with the headlamps on auto and wipers on high or low. They don’t appear to come on with the wipers on rain sensing, although it stopped raining here so they aren’t on much now.

I have 'rain sensing' turned on and the lights set to auto... after some passes (I didn't sit there and count) the headlights do come on... I just drove 8+ hrs through intermittent light showers.

Mine work fine with rain sensing...as everyone stated there is a delay so they don't come on immediately.

After some more use I figured out I was wrong. The lights do come on with it on rain sensing, it just takes a few swipes to turn in, so if they only sense a few drops and don’t turn in often the lights don’t turn on, once the rain continues, the lights turn on fine. MY mistake.

I ended up with this feature off. My infortainment screen brightness isn't set as the highest, and I found if the headlight is on the nav screen automatically switches to night mode which is not quite readable during the day...

In Florida, headlights on in the rain is law. So, even if you don't have auto-lights with wipers you'd need to turn them on manually.

Oh good call! Didn't realize that different states have different laws... If it is dark enough, the auto headlight will turn on anyway, but for a sunny rain, which happens a lot in my area, I have to set the cluster dimmer to high --- passing the "click"--- in order to read the screen easily.

Same in Illinois.

I have the same issue when I turn on the wipers it dims my screen and the middle cluster way to much I wonder if there is was to auto adjust

Same problem with the dashboard and uconnnect brightness. During daytime, if it's raining and you have your headlamps on, the dash and screen are too dim! Yes you can override it with the manual dial, but we shouldn't have to do that!

I thought there was a light sensor on the top of the dashboard (the small dark bubble there), but maybe it's not used? This is a blunder, we shouldn't have to manually adjust the dash brightness so much. Other brands get this right, can't we get RAM to do it too?
