100 series wiper modification

[Warrenpfo]

I have mentioned it in the past as one of my irritations on the 100 series european spec and that is it does not have a one wipe front windscreen function.

You can pull the stork towards you and spray the screen along with 3 wipes and then a 5 second delay and a final 4th wipe or you can go down one to auto and hope it wipes or down two and get the slowest of the continuous wipe option but NO one blip up as in most Toyota's to give you one wipe.

My thinking is that with the removal of the front OEM bumper with my headlight squirters, the push button on the end of the wiper control stork will not be needed and so could I mod it so that when it is pushed it gives me one wipe on the front windscreen???

Has anyone done this or have an idea as to the best way to do this.

Looks like i'm going to have to tackle this one on my own. Will keep you posted.

what if you changed out your euro spec wiper switch to a us spec?

I've noticed this as well. I have two Camry's (2005 and 2009) and both of them have the push-up for one wipe function on the stalk where the more expensive 100 does not. Other than that feature, the stalks are identical. Wonder if you could try a Camry one...

The 100 doesn't have a "up" feature on the stalk, you would have to find a way to make the switch go another way. I would think a simple push button into the wiper relay would accomplish a single wipe. I would love that feature, but I just turn the wipers on and off with a quick blip. All the way down and all the way back up in a split second will trigger it to do a full cycle.

I will dig the wiring diagram out and see what we can do.
