This means that it will fit on the Yaris?

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.

Scott you as always on top.
When will deal with debts (for transmission) will order you have this stem.
Adjusting the wiper is very useful.

Has anyone figured a part number for the sedan? (since I dont need the rear wiper) I have a 2010 I'd love to do this to.

[siray06]

My beef from the day I bought it (Nov 2005) is the rear wiper washer switchology. Why on earth would it be wired to spray only when turning the tip of the stalk in one direction and spray with wiper whne turned against the spring in the other direction and then spring back to continuous wiper. One must then manually turn the wiper off once the window is clear.

I would like to be able to push/turn a switch to spray, then after releasing it, the wiper would run for 3 or 4 sweeps and stop (like almost any front windshield wiper washer switch).

Has anyone come up with a mod to accomplish this?

Would a wiper stalk from an 05/06 camry work on the 07 yaris sedan?

No

I just got my stalk and followed your instructions to the letter. Took me about 20 minutes. Awesome DIY.

i just want to ask what does it mean intermittent? it looks like many of u guys don't get the different speed of wipes?? my yaris came stock there's about 4 speed of wipes i can select for different raining suitations. can anyone give me an insight? thanks

The intermittent stalk has a ring that you rotate to select the delay between wipes when in intermittent mode. It allows much greater variation than with the stock stalk, which only has one delay period in intermittent mode.

oh i guess it must be be different in the canadian model.. cuz mine has 4 delay periods. 1 up for one wipe, 1 down for slow wipe, 2 down for faster, 4 down for fastest...

That's the same as the US one.

The intermittent stalk turns the slow wipe into about 6 different choices of slow.

Suuuuuure, I'll slide into this couple-year-old thread. This is handy as hell. Thanks much CTScott

Is it just my car or does everyone's rear sprayer just "run" fluid down the middle of the window?, it looks like you are pouring it out of a 1/8" hole out of a 20oz pop bottle. No spray pattern like the front washers. This is my first car w/rear wiper/washer.

I keep asking silly questions, but I learn new stuff every day, like stability control gets pissed (and beeps) if you pull the e-brake to make a 180* turn on ice/snow, it will actually apply the brakes on the car to stop you! so my 180 only winds up to be about 110. I have not tried it with the traction control off yet!

[Spidermandud]

Only way to learn is by asking; Have you checked to see if there's blockage on where it shoots out? Mine doesn't do that; and it didn't when I had an '02 Blazer either. If not that then. . perhaps a small leak in the line somewhere?

[caineroad]

does the wiper stops or go slower when you stop the car e.g. red light?
