Location of wiper delay controller?

[HomeGrown]

Anyone know where the wiper delay controller is at on these cars? I'm thinking about taking the one out of my '88 and putting it in my Tacoma.

I don't mind the manual crank windows & manual locks, but the thing that I really miss the most is the delay wipers (my truck is VERY stripped).

If I can remove the delay circuit without losing the functionality of the wipers, I'm on it.

I think you will need both the wiper motor and the switch assembly, look at the wiring diagram.

N.E.O.

Shouldn't need the motor, unless it's got the delay circuit imbedded in it, which is not likely.
Good thought on the wiring diagram.

Actually, I think the Camrys have the same set-up as the Corollas of the same vintage--and the delay is actually built right in to the wiper motor assembly. So is the "return" function (that allows the arms to return even if you turn the wiper off in mid-arc).

HomeGrown, update me on this one when you find-out for sure. I'm curious, considering my gen2 is so old and so used. It'll probably start acting-up any time now.

I too, am wondering where the delay and return functions are located. My Gen2 Camry IS acting up... No return or delay. I've read elsewhere that it's located in the combination switch, but I don't want to sink the money into a switch without knowing! Did the wiring diagram indicate the location of this circuitry?

Page 98. Looks like the relay is in the switch, although the motor might need the connections to it also. I'm wondering if I can take the ES250 stalk assembly to get the selectable interval system like the newer cars.

LE from at least '89+ also has the variable intermitant wipers.

Kickass!

1990 Camry motor was replaced on mine and did not solve the delay and reset problems. The delay/reset function must be in the switch or wiring, not the motor. However, the new (rebuilt) motor is a bit slower and less violent at full speed than the original one......which is better. T.C. Bear
