Failure of windshield wipers and headlight cleaning system on Toyota Avalon 2015: Exchange of experience and repair advice wanted

Hi, I drive a 2012 Toyota Camry and had a similar problem. The problem in my case was the cable connection to the steering column switch. It's a serious issue because in addition to the wipers, the headlights and signals can also be affected. I was advised to have it repaired as soon as possible. It was no big deal, the mechanic replaced the steering column switch wiring and made sure it was connected correctly. Since then, everything has been running like clockwork again. So yes, it could be the steering column switch. In my opinion, a trip to the workshop is unavoidable. I hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply and the useful info! Would you happen to remember how much you paid for the repair? And has there been any other issue since then that might indicate it's the same problem again? I just want to make sure that if I get it fixed, it's done right afterward. Thanks in advance!

Hey, sure, I can tell you that! So, replacing and repairing the cable connection on the steering column switch cost me €155. Since then there have been no more problems, so the mechanic seems to have done a really good job, especially since the windshield wiper switch malfunction was fixed. So it's definitely worth having it checked at the garage to make sure everything is running as it should. Hope this helps you!

Great, that sounds like a cheap and effective solution. I'll look into it tomorrow and hope that my experience will be as positive as yours. The cost also seems reasonable to me. I guess that's the price to pay to make sure everything works safely and properly. Thanks again for the helpful advice. You've really helped me out! Thank you and take good care of yourself!
