Product Details

HELLA 012007161 is a rain sensor designed for vehicles equipped with a windshield glass rain/light sensor setup. It reads changing weather and lighting conditions to help the vehicle respond automatically, including wiper speed changes based on rainfall intensity and headlight behavior as outside light changes. For drivers maintaining a Lincoln Aviator or Lincoln Navigator, this sensor supports the factory-style functionality expected from the original system.

This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as JU5T17D547BB and JU5Z17D547B for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Intermittent or inaccurate automatic wiper response
• Loss of rain-sensing windshield wiper function
• Headlights not responding properly to changing light conditions
• Climate control behavior tied to sensor input issues
• Replacement needs for a damaged or malfunctioning rain/light sensor

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2020 Lincoln Aviator, N/A, and 2018-2020 Lincoln Navigator, N/A. Verify the windshield glass is equipped with a rain/light sensor, confirm the 3-pole connection, and match the clipped mounting style before installation. Proper sensor placement on the glass is important for correct operation.
