Most SRX's did not come with the rain sensing feature, as (someone can correct me) I believe it was an add-on feature. All SRX's have wiper activated headlights. If you definitely have rain sensing wipers, they may not come on as expected in a car wash since the vehicle would be in neutral if it is pulled by the car wash. A couple of other thoughts:
- do you really want wipers to come on inside a car wash? The rotating brushes could damage them.
- the track can damage your very $$$ rims

 

Why in every thread do you compare a Chrysler car to a Cadillac truck they don't share a single thing period.

 

Lol, I was waiting for that comment to come up. Yes the SRX is not a 300C nor does it have rain sense wipers or heated fluid, sucks but the truth.

 

Hello orandaberg,
We can try to check and see if your vehicle has a rain sensor as a part of its build if you wanted to send us the last 8 of your VIN. I only ask because I do not see information on this feature in the 2007 SRX manual, unless I am overlooking something.

All the best,

Now guys take it easy, I only say the 300C because I also have one and the Cadillac, just using it as a reference not as a comparison, and yes I do have a rain sensor I can see the infrared box in front of the mirror and from the top of the windshield, and remember this is a forum, lots of stupid questions and comments come up, we are all different personalities, some are a genius, others like me are dimmer then a bag of nails and join forums concerning the cars I own. Perhaps I should 300C in my Autos own. Anyway Thanks for all the infos I have been getting

Please remember I live in Europe, there are not that many places with the chain drive drive thru like in the states.
I went to one no brushes only water jets, it has no tracks a robot circles the car,car is in P. has not rained here in a while so was just curious why they did not come on. The car came with no owners manual so thanks to help on here I got the PDF format and it has a section in there concerning the rain sensors.
European edition cars usually come standard what in the states would be optional, I have about every option on here including a TV in the NAV, but thats from 07 before they had digital, now I have a kenwod 9280 BT with digital free to air TV, IPOD,USB,bluetooth and hands free (oops sorry got ahead of myself, off topic)
I will go in the DIC on the SRX (on some other car! I can go into the EMIC and turn the sensor on/off)

 

He should go trade it in and get a Pacifica

 

So? The 300C does not have OnStar, AWD, Approach Lighting, Power Lumbar Support, Automatic Digital Control, Sport Mode etc. I could go on and on. You're comparing a car with an SUV... a car with a Cadillac that costs $10k more. I really really like the 300C and would consider it as a sedan. Then again, let's wait and see how it compares with Cadillac XTS.

 

I'm not trying to jump on you but comparing the two in every thread serves no point. My sisters 05 srx sport with every option other than the n* does not have rain sense. My 05 STS does.

 

I probably expressed myself wrong in the other post,anyway thanks for replies, I am learning more about the car as I go

"The sensor is a box behind the rearview mirror near the windshield. It senses how much precipitation is on the windshield."

Mine has this, or its for something else? Has a thick cable going into it(just like my other rain sensor). I can take a pic and post it, I PM'd my VIN to the CCS on the post here, maybe they can tell me

 

Compnine.com can run your vin too.

 

Thanks that was handy, List was too long to post, But my best guess now is the black box in front of the mirror is a antenna for the TV at the time,nothing on the list for rain sensor

 

Think it will work on SRX
