He said he's pulled a few wiper stalks off of Prius' lately.

I had to do this mod on my focus, same procedure excpet the part was only 12 bucks.

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:

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 :(

Hmmm that switch on CTScotts link sounds good but the pics are confusing. It will be interesting to see what he did on his car.

I used the Prius one (the second one pictured on the 1st page). The only difference between it and the one in the 1st picture is the writing/graphics on it.

Anyone knows if a similar stalk swap is possible on a European (UK) Yaris?

I can't say definitively, but I would think that the same cars' stalks that work for LHD Yaris would work for RHD ones.

Pingouin · 09-20-2010, 01:40 PM

Thanks CTScott, I'll keep an eye opened on eBay to see if a cheap one pops up!

hengemann · 09-24-2010, 04:22 PM

Hi friends, please anyone knows if a similar stalk swap is possible on a Toyota Echo (2000)?

I bet your steering wheels pops off the spoke fairly easy now...

Keep us posted! I feel mighty invigorated finally tinkering with my Yarii electronics!

Just installed a Prius stalk in my Scion xD, works like a charm and was as simple as your write up made it out to be. Got the entire stalk (wiper and light) on ebay for $75 shipped. Thank heaven there's peeps like you around to help make mods like this.
