TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF!!!!

Have you checked the fuses? Faulty stalk maybe? Wiper motor died?
Forget the alternator, the wipers would still run from the battery :lol:
May be worth trying a BSI reset but usually it's more than one circuit that goes wrong so I wouldn't be so sure.
The rain sensor has to shine light on the windscreen glass to detect light scatter from the rain pattern on the glass (apparently!) :)
