    Have 2010 taco has the three speed wipers switch on the tree. Is there a way to switch to an analog wiper control switch? You tube gets me confuse, It seems I need a control relay. Can any one suggest some sources for instruction. My local shops are $400-$500CA just for the basic switch... Ebay has a lot for under $200. Thanks!

    Just buy the intermittent wipers stalk and swap it out. I did it on my 2009. It's pretty easy to do..

    The only difference between intermittent and non intermittent wipers on 2nd gens is the switch so all you need is the switch with the intermittent function.

    First thing I did when I bought mine new.
    Different numbers will work.
    There was a big debate here years ago about which way the intermittent sections
    on the stock were different from others and which was right.. LOL.
    34 bucks is a friggin steal.
    Just be careful of the release clip. Sometimes they were a little temperamental.
