Rain Sensor Programming?

I installed a used SZL in my car yesterday to get my MFSW working. The programming was already complete in NCS and with the correct SZL now installed the radio and cruise functions work!!

However, my windshield wipers are going continuously! I had to pull the F9 fuse in the engine compartment to get them to shut off. The person who sold me the SZL said it came off of a rain sensor car with DSC just like my car.

Is there a way to modify the rain sensor in NCS Expert? I'm just trying to see if there is anything I can do to perhaps deactivate and then reactivate the sensor to try and get it working correctly?

The SZL I purchased appears to not be rain sensor compatible. While it is very hard to read, the RealOEM table here does appear to say that part number 61313451892 is NOT compatible with a rain sensor. The seller thought the car it came off of had one but I guess he was wrong. I'll be trying another SZL in the near future, in the mean time I'll be looking for a way to disable the rain sensor! Any ideas?

I pulled the RLS module and have the following options:

KONFIG_RLS_REGEN
nicht_aktiv
TYP_RLS_OPTIK
aktiv
KONFIG_NACHL_REGEN
wert_01
KONFIG_RLS_GESCHW
nicht_aktiv
EMPF_OHNE_RAENDELRAD
empfindlichkeitsstufe_3
WISCHEN_STUFE2
aktiv
WISCHERMOTOR_RSK
nicht_aktiv
DEF_FLC_SCHWELLWERT_SATZ
wert_01
FLC_SCHWELLWERT_SATZ_1
wert_01
V_HIGH_SPEED_WISCHEN
wert_01
FLC_SCHWELLWERT_SATZ_2
wert_02
FLC_SCHWELLWERT_SATZ_3
wert_03
TYP_FRONTSCHEIBE
serienscheibe
KONFIG_RLS_RAENDELRAD
nicht_aktiv
FLC_SCHWELLWERT_SATZ
wert_01

As you can see, I changed KONFIG_RLS_REGEN to nicht_aktiv to try and disable the rain sensor. However, when I reinstalled the wiper fuse they were still going continuously. Any other suggestions? Anything in the Vehicle Order?
