AE86 Rear Windshield wiper connect and front wiper questions

Postby Swooki » Sun May 07, 2017 10:23 am

This is a picture of my gauge cluster off and it only shows two connectors.
Left is the Defroster and right white one is the power windows.

2) This is my front wipers.. i broke the other one and am looking for a spare. It is bosch brand and i couldn't find it at autozone. Does anyone know where i can get this?? the one that needs two screws to put it on as shown in the picture below?

Is this an sr5 to gts conversion? Just a guess but Maybe you have a wiring harness from a coupe? In which it would'nt have any plugs for a rear wiper switch.

No this is an original GTS AE88 Vin number (Hatchback). Do you think it's wiring from a coupe? Why would they switch it though?

Hmmm....not sure bud. It was just a guess....but I can't think of any other obvious reasons as to why your harness would not have this plug. Seems I remember hearing also that some non usdm hatches did not have the rear window wiper and it was only mandatory in the states.....but that still doesn't help you out since yours is an ae88 usdm version. Anyway, Here is a couple pics of mine.....it is a 6 wire plug, you can see it is on the same loom as the rear defrost, gauge cluster, headlight switch, and power mirror switch. Maybe someone else can offer up some help?

Is this not it from your pic? Circled in blue? It's hiding a bit.

Well...Its hard to tell 100% but I see some pink and blue wires just like on mine.....looks like I can see the pigtail connector too but it could just be the pic....check it out for sure.
