FWIW the direction is done with 8 magnetic reed switches and resistors so it must read the resistance value and use that to compute the direction. The cover comes off the rain guage quite easily so I'd check that as well to see if anything has been displaced in transit.

Tried all of this - I even read the manual
The problem still exists even when the rain sensor is not plugged in - you spin the anemometer and the rainfall indication goes up (it shows the wind speed too).
No obvious shorts or bent pins visible.
I've asked the seller so I'll wait to see what he says.
