New 2012 did not have intermittent wipers

Just 'on' and 'high on'. So I went to this Forum: found that the 2009 Camray had variable speed wipers and the same 'stalk' that the Tacoma has - - or so the Forum note said. I went to eBay and bought a module from a salvage outfit. Opened up the 'tupper ware' on the Tacoma and pulled out the old stalk; put in the 'new' and - - it's perfect. Thank to this Forum.

 

I know what you mean. My buddy has a 2007 base model and I almost crapped my pants when she told me it didnt have intermittent wipers!! She did the same and replaced the module so now shes good to go.

 

Alot of models don't. Toyota saves about $100 retail. Participants in the 2013+ Rav4 forum have been griping about the LE; I linked the success of Tacoma owners like the OP, but have yet to find anyone fix up their Rav4.
Oh well; to them, guessitmustnotbethatimportant!!!!

 

Plug and play replacement available ... 10 minute job.

 

Yes,, it came as a surprise to me also, I didn't realize it until I ran into some rain, I honestly didn't think you could buy a vehicle without intermittent wipers, on the positive side, it is an easy fix, but hay, Come on Toyota!!!

off with the old


on with the new, (about 20 minutes)

 

Yup, done the same thing and couldnt be happier, also done the foglights, and the cruise control mod!!!!

 

I will also be doing the fog lights , could you elaborate on the "Cruise Control" mod?? Thanks

 

x2
Thanks for the thread! Helping us all with the, WTF Toyota where's all my options?, grief. I drove 1275mi. sitting on that bench seat w/o CC... Thankfully, it didn't rain.

 

Well it wasnt really a mod, i just took a chance and bought the cruise control stalk, and it took about 20 minutes to install (hardest part was trying to get that stoopid ground wire out of one clip into the other) but not hard at all. It added cruise control to my ride which the dealer was wanting 1100 to install because they had to run all new wiring, lol there is a write up on here somewhere about how to do it, ill search it again and send the link to ya, if you dont have cruise already. I just gave it a shot, bought the stalk and installed it and it worked, i thought ill pay 40 for the stalk, if it doesnt work, imcan always resale it ya know.

 

Texas Edition Tacoma? They don't need no stinkin' intermittent wipers in Texas...it rains BIG in Texas.

 

Thanks for taking the time!, My truck came with CC, I thought maybe there was a mod to make it a one button deal, on mine one must engage the CC & them press the control, on most of my vehicles it is simply push cruise button, no big deal but am just useto the "one step" Thanks again

 

my 12 has intermittent wipers. i guess it depends on the trim level. mine is the sport.

 

I am pretty sure they are full of shit.

 

lol stealership is so full of shit. it's plug and play. No difference between the 12' and 13' wiper stalk.

 

Any wiper switch 05+ tacoma will work. Also 09-11 Camry. Some others. A lot of prius switches will also work but they have a rear wiper knob that doesn't do anything if put in a tacoma.

 

Wow, surprise to me.
