@TJSparky, I popped off the cover above the rear view mirror and saw that I have the three-pin connector with the green/white, black/white, and blue/white wires tucked into a holder (see photo). Does this in some way imply that my 2022 Lariat is wired for the rain sensor? If so, do I need to replace the stalk switch or as you suggested, just keep the existing and change the necessary values in Forscan? I've seen several somewhat uncertain comments throughout this thread. But, I do appreciate everyone's input. It's what keeps my reading skills alive ?I recently added the rain sensor to the cavity in the windshield up behind the rear view mirror. I checked voltage on the harness plug for the sensor prior to purchase and confirmed there was power to the plug. I have a 2022 XLT 302A with 360 cameras. After installation, I made the below FORscan changes. I DID NOT update my wiper stalk. After this, the wipers are now rain sensing and adjust speed based on rain intensity (tested with a hose), as long as the stalk is not in the wiper off position. Don’t forget to turn on rain sensing wipers in the Vehicle Settings menu, Settings->Vehicle->Wipers->toggle on “Rain Sensing”. Figured I would share in case others want to do this rather inexpensive simple modification (~$40). Picture attached of the sensor installed and I also circled in red where the harness was initially plugged in at the dummy spot. You can pull down the plastic cover behind the mirror to see this, it’s easiest if you start at the edge that meets the windshield.

Enjoy!
I would try installing the sensor and making the forscan changes first. You may also need to purchase the stalk and an additional harness as well if that does not work. I only needed the sensor and forscan changes for my '23 302A.@TJSparky, I popped off the cover above the rear view mirror and saw that I have the three-pin connector with the green/white, black/white, and blue/white wires tucked into a holder (see photo).

Sounds like a plan. If there is voltage present at the connector, I'll run by my local Ford parts department and pickup the sensor. I just successfully finished upgrading to 360 co-pilot assist and love it. Slowly, I'm adding all the stuff that got left out of MY22s due to supply chain issues.
If you have power to the harness and they still don't work in the intermittent positions after you make the forscan chances and turn on the automatic wipers in the settings, you will likely just need a new stalk which is inexpensive and easy to install.
After probing and finding no power at the connector, I checked and the 5 amp fuse is present. My MY22 Lariat was manufactured on Feb. 2, 2022 making it fall into the “early” group. So I’ve ordered the Infotainment kit since I was going to replace the stalk anyway. Plus, I got a 10% military veteran discount which softened it a bit. I, like everyone else, would like to spend as little as possible to get these upgrades, but looking at the larger picture, I would have spent way more to get these features since I’d have to buy a higher cost trim level to get them. After I get the hardware installed, I’m sure I’ll be back on this thread asking more FORScan questions.
COVID changed many things… most notably, the supply chain. My 22 Lariat was unfortunately caught up in that turmoil and as a result, many options were either axed or abbreviated in some way. I’ve read in many forum threads about what various trim levels should have had, but when they rolled off the production line, all bets were off. No, unfortunately, mine did not come with 360 camera. I have added bed lights and adaptive cruise control thus far and soon rain sensing wipers.
Just check your headlight functions to confirm everything is working properly. When I enabled the rain light sensor, it screwed up my headlight functions.
