I find in the summer months when it is sunny the shadows created by the trees or building will activate my wipers. Shadows fool sensors into thinking window is dirty.The last couple of times I went for a drive, the wipers started in completely dry conditions. The first time I thought maybe there was some dew on the windshield, but today, in broad sunlight and completely dry they came on at the highest speed for about 15 seconds. Car was recently updated to 2022.36.20, but it happened at least once before the update. Any ideas?
Neither had I until 2 months ago.Funny how common this issue seems to be. In the more than 4 years I’ve owned the car, I haven’t seen this behavior even a single time.
Did you have cruise control on? Cruise control seems to enable automatic setting on the wipersThe last couple of times I went for a drive, the wipers started in completely dry conditions.

No, but the automatic setting was on because I had previously used cruise control/autopilot. This is new behavior and appeared when it started getting cold around here. Haven't proven it yet, but I think there may be some frost developing on the windshield when driving in cold weather. It is very intermittent. I can go days without it happening and then it reappears.Did you have cruise control on? Cruise control seems to enable automatic setting on the wipers
It's crazy that you can't turn off your wipers while AP is engaged.Agreed. I drive in autopilot because I use Tesla insurance and autopilot keeps the safely score higher. So I guess for now I’ll deal with the annoyance of wipers wiping dry glass on a sunny day to save a few bucks lol.
I know. I love autonomy but there should be some degree of human intervention allowance when stuff like this happens. I’ve now had to purchase new blades because the old ones wore out.It's crazy that you can't turn off your wipers while AP is engaged.
Model 3/Y doesn't use fuse panels. It's all electronic, using MOSFETs to protect circuits:Does anyone know where the fuse panel is on 2023 MYLR or specifically the fuse/circuit breaker for WSW??? This random wiper activation on a dry windshield is driving me bonkers!!! I would rather use Rain-X until a software solution has fixed this nightmare.
The problem is Elon thinks he's Steve Jobs and is making decisions based on tech that isn't mature yet. When they went to autopilot using ONLY cameras that made it incumbent on the system to make sure the front cam has a clear view. The only way to do that is mandate that auto wipers be engaged with autopilot so that if its view is obstructed, it's not waiting on you to clear the obstruction and driving 'blind' in the meantime. The work flow sounds logical. . . . .to an engineer in a lab. However, as we've seen, real world conditions are driving the system nuts with false positives because they went to a system that wasn't really ready for prime time.I know.

Cleaning the glass hasn't helped. My 2019 Model X does NOT have this problem. However, the 2023 Model Y has been problematic for 6 straight months. I am tempted to file a complaint with NHTSA and/or Pennsylvania Lemon Law, especially because I paid nearly $20K more for the Dec 15th delivery of my 2023 Model Y than what it cost 1 month later. Very frustrating.Model 3/Y doesn't use fuse panels. It's all electronic, using MOSFETs to protect circuits:
12V Fuses?
Does anyone know where the 12V fuse box is located? I have looked in all of the normal places without removing any fastened covers. When I search the Model 3 Parts Catalog for fuses only a fuse in the HV Battery Assembly and a fuse in the Penthouse are listed.teslamotorsclub.com
As people mentioned up thread people have had generally good results cleaning the inside and outside glass of the housing thoroughly.
MOSFETs may be the better future of electronics but this leaves me with little choice but to remove my wiper arms until the software fix is in. I'm NOT gonna drive 1,000 miles to Orlando next week while my Model Y wipers continually wipe a dry windshield. I don't want to risk the Model X because Florida drivers are idiots!

You cleaned the inside glass of the housing also after removing it? Note you may need to shine a light at an angle to see the watermarks. Normal cleaning may not necessarily clear that. Some people got this cleaning by the SC under warranty.Cleaning the glass hasn't helped. My 2019 Model X does NOT have this problem.

Well, it took about :45 minutes and a small gear puller to remove my WSW's but the problem is resolved!! I won't have to clean the bugs off my window at every charging station between here and Orlando now and I COULD CARE LESS if the wipers run continuously from here on. Talk about road rage; imagine how boiling mad one can get sitting at a red light on a sunny day and you are the only idiot sitting there with the wipers on. Thanks guys, I'm out-a-here. Good luck to all you Tesla lovers out there.
