DIY - Liftback Intermittent Wipers via Stalk Replacement (v2.0) - Toyota Yaris Forums

siray06 · 09-02-2011, 10:31 PM

My beef from the day I bought it (Nov 2005) is the rear wiper washer switchology. Why on earth would it be wired to spray only when turning the tip of the stalk in one direction and spray with wiper whne turned against the spring in the other direction and then spring back to continuous wiper. One must then manually turn the wiper off once the window is clear.

I would like to be able to push/turn a switch to spray, then after releasing it, the wiper would run for 3 or 4 sweeps and stop (like almost any front windshield wiper washer switch).

Has anyone come up with a mod to accomplish this?
