When you press the A button, the wipers will wipe once no matter what. If it keeps wiping after that when there is no rain then there is a sensor problem.
For the headlights, how bright is it and how long is it in the sunlight before it turns off? Or does it never turn off in the sun? Make sure the switch is on A. And make sure you're not confusing DRLs with headlights. If you have DRLs turned on, they will be on whenever the main headlights are off.

OR you have too much bugs on the windshield over the sensor, or it's just too dirty. First things first, do what's easy and cheap, clean the windshield where the sensor is. The sensor just send out light and looks for distortion, that causes the wipers to go. A lot of things can cause light distortion other than rain. |

That damn rain sensor is useless, along with the useless speed rotator dial- which does absolute jack shit.
It's almost as bad as that stupid seatbelt Butler : |

If you know how to code the car.you can turn the wiper into manual mode with four speed settings. I know which code it is if anyone interested. |

When did you change your wipers last? Apparently according the handbook they should be changed every 6 months, and cold weather can reduce their functionality.
I always notice that when I change my blades that the rain sensor works perfectly! |

My windshield wiper system is absolutely screwed up: the intermittent adjustment dial absolutely has no effect. It only responds to vehicle speed. If stopped, the wipers rest; if moving, the wipers move at a constant rate, the speed of which is determined by how many "clicks" I push the lever up. Now, my condensation sensor appears to have been tampered with by the previous owner as it is not enclosed in the plastic T-shaped device but instead was stuck to the windshield with some thick, rubbery adhesive which no longer works thus the sensor just hangs loosely inside the mirror trim shell. I'm not sure if this sensor has anything to do with my wiper issues (I don't think so, if it only checks for "condensation" to prevent wiper operation when there is no actual rain), or if the sensor embedded in the windshield has failed. Regardless, I have a crack in the windshield so it's getting replaced, along with a new condensation sensor. But just in case neither of those resolves the issue, I'd rather just switch to "manual" mode; don't really need the "rain sensing" feature here in SoCal... Hence, the codes por favor!
