No - The wiper is completely independent of the rest of the car.

Better late than never...just installed a Prius wiper stalk on my 2010. For shits and giggles I threw together a video of my install. I know full well that CTSotts directions and photos are outstanding in explaing this but I like making videos to show how easy his instructions are to follow. Sometimes photos alone don't show that. I am looking forward to ordering his rear wiper module in the next few months. Thanks CTSott for all your efforts. Also I almost forgot, I have an extra Prius wiper stalk if anyone is interested in it.

Do the parts listed in the main post also work for 2012+? If not, are there any parts that would work for 2012+?

I am about 90% sure that the same parts will work for the 2012+. The stalk looks the same as the 06-11 and the connectors are the same and have the same pinouts (although for whatever reason the yellow and blue wires on the left connector have the opposite colors, but same functions as the 06-11).

Any cross reference p/n's for the yaris sedan wiper stalk? It seems like they are the same with corolla and camry.

Well that was easy.

Cheap, good condition, took less than ten minutes.

Hi all, floated this topic because when I use the English to Spanish translator and not be 100% effective I wanted to ask you something.

According to the translator yaris have intermittent speed rear wiper, but in mine if you have intermittent speed at position having command and continuously when water flows out of the back glass.

A greeting.



Spanish:

Hola a todos, refloto este tema ya que al usar el traductor ingles a español y no ser efectivo al 100% os queria preguntar una cosa.

Segun el traductor los yaris no tienen velocidad intermitente en el limpiaparabrisas trasero, pero en el mio si tiene velocidad intermitente en la posicion que tiene el mando y continua cuando sale agua por el cristal de atras.

Un saludo.

With the factory wiper switch the Yaris does not have a rear intermittent setting. It is either ON, OFF, or in the water spray mode.

Hello CTScott, our operation is off does nothing, in on doing intermittent wipe and spray the water makes continuous, also has another position to just spray the water, so my question is the intermittent wipe.

Ours is this command:



And I'm going to buy is this:



I want auto function because I want to put a rain sensor.

With ours the rear does not have an intermittent mode, just the front does. If you install a Prius wiper switch there is an unused position which can be used to control an intermittent add on module.

The question is that mine does not have the continuous function unless you pull the water sprayer.

I put a video I made this afternoon with the operation.

Interesting. Check the wiring going into the wiper switch to see if someone installed a wiper delay module. In the ON mode they normally run continuously, like yours does in the spray mode.

The truth is that if someone has installed a module or something has been in the actual assembly of toyota since we bought the car new, the truth that I dread plug and non-plug and play like your tutorials.

OK. He was trying to install a stalk the was not compatible with the Yaris.

So I better not me? There would be no solution lattest even have to modify the connector cables and wires and add my idea in the future is to put the rain sensor and light and I already have both knobs with auto function.

The rain sensor could be wired to the original switch. Is the problem you are having with the switch with the auto mode installed in place of the original?

The rain sensor I have not actually purchased and install a universal sensor and i do not know if I would give problems with the installation in command of the clean.

I'm checking the electrical diagrams and yaris car that came the command of the cleanest I buy and not between English and not much is because electronics do not quite understand the schemes.

Hello CTScott, I've been all day checking the pins of the two controls with multimeter and now to put the original remote car I have found that does not work the front sprinklers, nothing comes out of water and do not know what could be doing something noise but only the wipers move.
