I am betting yes, but I haven't found an EWD for the auto wipers yet.

This means that it will fit on the Yaris?
Step by step the delay will work?

The front wiper adjustable delay works by just changing the wiper stalk to one of the part numbers listed on the first page of this thread.

He bought a different one that is from a Lexus which had automatic rain sensing wipers. The automatic one had a sensor on the windshield and an ECU to interpret the sensor data and automatically turn on the wipers.

Thanks for all the info Scott. I should've verified the p/n with the seller first instead just relying on make/description (i.e. rx330)

I think I'm going to start toying around the idea of adding a toggle switch to my rear wiper delay module to control the fronts as well and see how that works out.


p.s. I'll hold on to the rx330 stalk in case you happen to find the ewd for it. thanks again =)

I still haven't tracked down the EWD, but I definitely will. One thing I did find out is that with the stalk connected to the Wiper ECU, if you disconnect the rain sensor then the AUTO mode acts like normal intermittent.

So there is hope?

Just let me know what to take apart and I'm on it.
