About Wiper Switch Stalks
The wiper switch stalk is part of a range of electrical appliances that function to assist the driver of the car and to enhance the overall driving experience.
The Toyota wiper switch stalk is generally mounted on a car's steering column with the primary function of switching on/operating the car's windscreen wipers. The wiper switch stalk will usually contain the controls to activate the windscreen washer too.
It is designed to allow the driver to easily operate the windscreen wipers without having to remove their hands from the steering wheel. The driver can decide at what speed the wipers move, usually from a choice of three speeds, depending on the weather conditions. The driver can operate the wipers by selecting the desired speed on the wiper switch stalk. This activates the wiper motor switch, which operates with a wiper motor relay. When the wiper motor switch is activated by the driver, this sends an direct electric current (provided by the car's battery) to the wiper motor. The wiper motor is what generates the force to power the wiper mechanism.
The Toyota wiper stalk switch is generally maintenance and problem free although like all components can be prone to wear and tear and accidental damage. This can include electrical faults due to burnt out switches of short circuits. Replacing this part with a new Toyota wiper switch stalk will give you a part that is compatible with your vehicle.
Toyota trivia
- The Toyota company got its start making automated looms in 1033. Founder Sakichi Toyoda even invented the automated loom and then sold them off to try and get into the car industry. There is still an arm of Toyota that is still in the textile industry!
- Without the US, Toyota very likely wouldn't exist today as we know it. In 1950, the car company was struggling to fight off bankruptcy and only managed to make 300 trucks until the Korean War kicked off. The US then put in an order for 5,000 vehicles, transforming the company and its future.
- It's not exactly a secret, but surprisingly few people are aware that Toyota also makes a couple of other brand-name cars. That's because they own or partially own Lexus, Subaru, and Scion.
- World-famous magazine the MIT Technology Review repeatedly includes Toyota in its list of the world's 50 smartest companies.
- Incredibly, there are more Toyota made cars on the world's roads than any other vehicle. It's not just high sales figures that make that viable either. Their durability means that even Toyotas that were sold 20 years ago are still on the road!
