DIY - Liftback Intermittent Wipers via Stalk Replacement (v2.0)

The intermittent rear requires a module and an extra wire, which the Yaris doesn't have. I picked up the module from a Prius, but it needs feedback from the rear wiper motor, which the Yaris's wiper motor doesn't provide.

I built my own module which includes a potentiometer to allow for fully adjustable rear intermittent. I use timing, to replace the feedback signal on mine. I haven't had a chance to package it and install it on my car yet, but on the bench it works perfectly. I will probably mount the knob for adjusting the intermittent delay to the steering column, by the stalk.

You get around to mounting it in your Yaris? Very interested.

I still haven't yet. Every time I have the steering column open I forget to monkey with it. Bobolinko PM'd me last week to discuss a fairly simple relay/transistor circuit that he was going to experiment with.

Any chance that the Prius rear wiper motor could work on the yaris with some modifications in the hatch? Sorry if this was asked already...

It would require quite a bit of work and extra wiring to the steering column, but it could be done. You would also need the prius rear wiper motor, rear wiper relay module, and the wiper stalk.
