Does anybody know if the Scion Xd stalk will work? I am curious as to whether or not it cross-reference with any of these p/n's and also, might it be LESS expensive?

Two months later...

What a fantastic mod. Now for those of us without rear wipers...are there any switches to suit us?

I guess I could just install a rear wiper; that would be fun.

Or, just ignore the rear switch. Everything else will work fine.

The intermittent rear requires a module and an extra wire, which the Yaris doesn't have. I picked up the module from a Prius, but it needs feedback from the rear wiper motor, which the Yaris's wiper motor doesn't provide.

I built my own module which includes a potentiometer to allow for fully adjustable rear intermittent. I use timing, to replace the feedback signal on mine. I haven't had a chance to package it and install it on my car yet, but on the bench it works perfectly. I will probably mount the knob for adjusting the intermittent delay to the steering column, by the stalk.

Sure, but what about the aesthetics? Thanks for the info, CTScott.

Is there a work around for the stalk using a dash mount switch. just like the $ 10.00 cruise?

Hmmmm... Actually, the circuit for the intermittent front wipers is built into the stalk, so a work-around is definitely possible, but would require a circuit like my rear intermittent one. Then, you would have a dash or column mounted knob to adjust the delay. It wouldn't require a switch, as the standard stalk has an intermittent mode.

Great writeup CTScott!

The stock wiper switch has bugged me from day one. I also ordered the part from autoworksinc.com. The guy was very helpful and I got the part the very next day.

The dealership wanted $208 for the stalk. No thanks. The guy at autoworksinc pulled mine from an 07 Prius as well. $50 + shipping.

The whole upgrade took about 7 - 8 minutes max and works like a charm.

Is there a generic multi speed switch that could be spliced into the rear wiper wiring for multi speed intermittent wiping? Oh by the way the Scion XD switch is a match.

The simplest off the shelf solution would be an adjustable time delay relay like this:

Hey, did you steal my part from Wisconsin??
I'd love to do the fog light stalk, but not sure I want to pull the steering
wheel. I realize this one can be done without doing that.

Definitely a mod on my radar. Thanks CTScott for the quick fix.

Nice, I defo wanna do that. I did it on my previous car (a Ford Focus), but it cost me £15 back then, which was well affordable and worth it. But $50 to $150 is a no-no for me :(
