DIY Variable Speed wiper stalk install
This was originally posted by Violin but was lost after the hack. Here is what I could find off of the google cache. Thanks Violin!
![]() ![]() ![]() With the wheels straight ahead, put a piece of tape with a line drawn on it to mark the center position of the steering wheel. ![]() DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE and go surf internet porn or something. I wait at least 5 minutes to be sure that the airbag is safely asleep. Use a #30 torx wrench and remove the bolts at the back of the steering wheel. They won’t come out; just loosen them all the way. ![]() ![]() Pull the airbag. ![]() Unplug the horn wire, pop up the little yellow tabs on the airbag plugs and remove them. ![]() Set the airbag aside with the Toyota emblem facing up. ![]() Remove the center nut from the steering wheel. ![]() Using a steering wheel puller, remove the steering wheel and set it aside. ![]() Remove the three screws holding the cowling in place and pop it apart. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unplug the two connectors on the wiper stalk. ![]() Depress the clip holding the wiper stalk in place and remove it. ![]() ![]() Install the new wiper stalk so that it clicks into place. ![]() Plug the two connectors into the new stalk. ![]() Reattach the cowling. ![]() Wind this center spiral cable counterclockwise all the way until it won’t turn any more. Turn it back clockwise 2.5 turns and align the marks at the bottom. ![]() ![]() Put the steering wheel back on and align your tape marks. ![]() Reinstall the center nut. ![]() Plug in the airbag and horn. ![]() Tighten the torx screws in the back and you’re done! ![]() The variable speed front works but the intermittent rear won’t without additional wiring. Total elapsed time: 30 minutes including taking photos. Thanks Violin..... I wanted to get this reposted before it disappeared from google cache...DanQ |
