I had missed this above:

This indicates that the switches are the wrong type. They are normally closed, rather than normally open switches. Unpressed should be high resistance and pressed 0 resistance.

Wow ! I thought that normally open switches were "normally" allowing current to flow but it seems to be the opposite... sorry for that I should have checked by myself before... Thanks a lot !!!

I am not sure if I found the right one on eBay??

This is what I am going by in my search for the switch......from the first page.



This is the closest thing I can find.....and here is the LINK to the eBay listing


So did I find the right one?

Or can someone please send me towards the right direction, perhaps?

That will work.

That listing doesn't have a part number listed, but the correct part number is: 84632-34011

On the Camrys the same stalk as the Yaris one was used from 04 to 09.

In the picture on that listing the wire that goes from the switch to the connector on the spiral cable is missing. Part number for the wire is 84633-42030 and it goes for about $30 from the dealer.

Thank you very much. I just made an offer to the seller. In the meantime I will keep on looking around to see what else i can find.

Added Note:I was just on TRDSparks.com, their website is stating that part number 84633-42030 is being replaced with part number 84633-02020. I am not sure if that is correct so I thought I give ya'll a heads up.

84633-02020 is shown in the EPC as being for the 08-09 Corolla and Matrix, but perhaps it is the same, so they are merging the two part numbers.

By the way, in looking for stalks, ones from the following vehicles are all the same:

Camry 04-09
ES300 04-09
Scion TC 04-09
Sequoia 04-09
4Runner 04-09
Corolla 08-09
ES350 06-09
FJ 06, 08
GS450H 06-09
GX470 04-09
Highlander 04-09
IS F 07-09
IS250 05-09
Land Cruiser 04-09
LX470 04-09
LX570 07-09
Prius 04-09
RAV4 04-09
RX330 04-09
RX400H 05-09
Scion xB 07-09
Scion xD 07-09
Tundra 04-09


The 84633-42030 wire is supposedly only used on the following vehicles:
Corolla 08-09
RAV4 05-08
Yaris 06-09

That list will be very helpful whenever someone is looking for the stalk on ebay. There are SO MANY pre-1996 stalks on eBay. So one really has to sift through the listings to find the right stalk. Of course, if you have the money and time, one could always just go to the dealership or TRDSparks and just order the right part. I ordered the Cruise Control Clutch Switch from Sparks and I might end up ordering the wiring from them as well.

BTW, just so ya'll know. My local dealership was charging $40 for one wiperblade assembly. I called TRDSparks and ordered the driver and passenger wiper blades plus the clutch switch all for just under $50 including shipping! Freaking awesome!

Just finished this mod on my '09 LB 5-speed. Works great! Big thanks to everyone that provided part numbers and ebay links.

[Vince87]

Just drove to work with my newly working cruise control, this is amazing ! thanks a hundred times CTScott ! So it's now confirmed that the mod works on the Canadian model of the yaris (mine is a 07 MT liftback)... Next step is to install the Clutch Switch and the On/Off LED !

[ehud42]

D'Oh! Why didn't I find this thread 3 weeks earlier.... Just got back from a 2 week, 5,000km road trip in my 2009 Yaris sedan (5 speed) - without cruise... Loved the car, but my back and legs were soar from the hours of driving.

On a plus side, my mileage was low 6's / 100km and even a couple of 5's in the mountains (less then 90kph). I think in mpg (imperial/cdn gallon) that works out to 45-47 with one of my fill ups tipping past 55mpg!

I am very tempted. I have not read any comments regarding warranty. I suspect that any damage caused by installing or using these methods would not be covered, but would the warranty be voided if a mechanic saw this?

If I do the mod, I'll probably put the switches in the holes cut out for seat warmers - down by the gear shifter / hand-brake.

$10 for the bits, plus a clutch switch and my '09 is good to go, eh?

I am so tempted....

[PatrickJohnson]

at least in the U.S...

WARRANTY CLAIMS CANNOT BE DENIED UNLESS THE DEALER CAN PROVE WITH CERTAINTY THAT THE MOD DIRECTLY CAUSED WHATEVER FAILURE IS BEING PRESENTED FOR WARRANTY REPAIR....

The burden of proof for denial of warranty claims is on the dealer in U.S., can't imagine Canada being much different.

I found this DIY post on ToyotaNation. Granted, it was done in 2006 and it was a Tacoma. But after viewing the pictures, they OEM stalk install looks a lot like ours, plus he skims over the Clutch Switch install. And I mean "skim". Like two pictures and thats it. I need something better than that.

Here is the LINK to that thread.

I just received my stalk from eBay and the wire should be here by the end of the week. I promise guys, if I can get this done, I'll post a DIY for our Yarii with clearer pictures. Y'all know how OCD-ish I am about DIY pictures.

I'm looking forward to that, I won't attempt it on mine until I see a DIY for a 2008, since it's not pre-wired for cruise, and I really want to use a stalk, not a homemade button setup...

[CTScott]

I finally found the info on the correct terminal with the waterproof sleeve for the ECM connection. It is the female terminal with the waterproof sleeve and 500mm of wire attached. It is intended to be a repair item for a damaged terminal, where the tech just has to splice the wire, rather than having to deal with attaching the wire properly to the terminal.

The part number is: 82998-24250

I am going by what CTScott said in the conversation below...If what you're saying is true, then I am going to need a little more time to figure it out.

We need to DIY, so that all of the info is concisely packaged.

Doing an 07-08 is really not difficult, and quite a few have already done it.

I would just like to get the soup to nuts of it nicely documented, so that everyone's questions are pre-answered. I have been meaning to write one up myself from the pictures that nickhjort sent me when he did his, but I haven't had a chance.

No problem. I just need the wire assembly from TRD Sparks. If I do get it by Friday or Saturday, I will be doing it right then and there.

[texkid]

Okay...I am at a lost.

I received the wire from TRDSparks. I installed the cruise control switch and the clutch switch. Nothing is turning on or engaging. I then jumped the wires in the fuse box to bypass the clutch switch...still nothing. I then took off the airbag again and double-checked the wires, everything is locked in.....still nothing. I even connected the white wire to the purple wire and found out that it starts the car!! I am not getting any "Check Engine" or "Airbag" lights in the cluster, so that's a plus I guess.

Could I possibly just have a bad cruise control switch or am I missing something?

If y'all have any ideas, I am all ears.




ADDED CORRECTION: Umm....I think I just screwed up....I have the '08 LB, so I had to connect a blue wire from the ECM to the connection behind the steering wheel, right?
