I too ordered the parts catalogue and service manual using Part Numbers given by Sashi. I collected the Parts Catalogue and S-Cross switch today. I'm waiting for the Service Manual.

Now that I have the Parts Catalogue, I can figure what parts to order and once the Service Manual comes, I'll try and figure out how to get it fitted. Though not rocket science, it probably won't be DIY for me. Hopefully I'll assist with the job.

Guys, is it possible to do this mod in Ciaz? Since it doesn't have a rear what other options are there?

Should be easy in the Celerio as it has Wiper pivot on the hatch and not on the glass.

We added one to a Zen last year. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/diy-do...aruti-zen.html

You have two options. One is to get the Celerio stalk and leave the rear wiper control dummy. Second is to get the SX4 stalk and live with the difference in the right and left stalk.

Any clues on compatible parts for Ignis delta variant?

It's been nearly two years since this thread came up.

Anyway ordered one wiper stalk from Boodmo and got it today. Couldn't find the screws to remove the steering column shroud in my Gen 1 Ertiga. Planning to take it to my regular FNG.

Will update once I get it done.

Thanks for this pic, I have shared the thread to a friend of mine who owns a Celerio and was looking for this feature. Please do update here the photos of work in progress (if possible).

Update

Actually I don't have much to add over the pics and steps mentioned in the first page.

The lower trim is to be removed first after removing the screw which comes underneath in the slot provided for the steering adjustment lever.

This has clips in four places. - Can be seen in one of my pics.

After removing this you can see the screws holding the top trim. Remove that, disconnect the switch, remove it.

Repeat the steps in reverse.

As mentioned earlier, the mode where the rear wiper just washes and wipes once when the end of the stalk is twisted towards you is lost.

You also don't get the rear wash wipe intermittent function.

Both are not much of an issue.

Just stumbled upon this thread & is it good! Rated it full 5 stars. By the way - it gave me a curiosity bug instantly regarding 2 Hyundai hatchbacks on sale.

The Grand i10 and the new Santro. Both have identical wiper stalks so I am inclined to think they'll have identical connectors. Santro doesn't have intermittent wipers while the i10 does. I'm wondering if an i10 stalk can be installed in a Santro like in this thread's DIY? Would the trigger relay for it be easily installable / built into the stalk housing? Or it would be far more complicated than just a quick stalk swap?

If its an easy job - a lot of Santro owners would love to do it! Lack of an intermittent wiper is a big downer.

This is one of the most irritating things a car manufacturer could skip in their car, most of us would never check these small things while purchasing car and this would come back and bite us in Monsoon season. Heck even in top variant of Ciaz this was missing.

Thanks for taking your time to write this, i changed it sometime back, DIY was easy and everything works

If you have the lower versions without rear wiper, then you can buy the stalk of the SX4. That will be a match.

Tried fitting the S-cross stalk on my Baleno (Alpha 2020). Sadly it didn't work out. The connector and fitting are same but upon switching on the wiper fuse was blown. So removed it and compared the connections of both stalks (Continuity with multimeter) found out that they are different.

Will try installing it on the Ciaz later on.

Damn, I wish I checked this thread again before placing an order on boodmo.
I have a 2018 make swift and was planning to get this stalk fixed.

It looks like Maruti saw audioholis thread and like 'aha not so fast peasants'

Anyway, I should've known my place.

Update :

Successfully installed the same on Ciaz and working flawlessly.

Had doubts about the rear washer/wiper button, like will any fuse blow or something is somebody accidentally used it. It seems nothing happen when it is turned

Its super useful during light drizzle. I had always felt the fixed intermittent speed of Marutis is a bit too fast, this resolves that perfectly.

Too bad it couldn't be fitted in the baleno. The entire circuitry is different in both (except for the connector part)
