RA23 vs *A70 Wiper/Indicator stalks

**Smokey228** · 15-03-2008, 10:25 AM

Hey guys, i got a a70 coloumn into the celica, but i need to cut and work the ra23 body loom plug into the a70 coloumn.

Anyone have wiring diagrams of each?

I think its going to be the easiest way to do it, so i thought i'd cut the plug off a ra23 stalk set, and adapt the a70 stalk set to suit the ra23 set. I know i will lose some function of the a70 stalk set, but thats okay, i just need indicators, head lights, and idealy intermittent wipers and standard wipers...
Obviously i'll lose rear window wipers...

At a count, the ra23 has 20wires, the a70 has 21...

Cheers, any help is really appreciated and shall result in a rep kiss

You may run into problems with what your planning. I'm re-doing the wiring on my RA28 and this is a list of the wire outputs from the 22 pin connector for the Indicator Stalk / Wiper Comb.
Number Colour Function
----------------------------------
1 Blue Wiper +12v
2 Blue Black Wiper Slow
3 Blue Brown Wiper Fast
4 Green Red Horn
5 Yellow Headlight +12v
6 Red Headlights On
7 White Parker Lights On
8 Red White High Beams On
9 Red Black High Beams Off
10 Red Yellow High Beams On
11 White Black High Beams +12V
12 Blue Red Wipers Off
13 Blue Windscreen Squirters
14 Black Windscreen Squirters
15 ----- ---------
16 Green White Flasher Unit (L)
17 Green Yellow Left Indicators lights
18 Green Black Right Indicator lights
19 Green Flasher Unit (B2)
20 Green Blue Flasher Unit (B1)
21 Green Red Indicator Power
22 Green Orange Hazards Power

From what I tested, there are several different controls for things such as the headlights / highbeams. I think this has to do with the way the original loom was earthed (thru the switch, so there was always 12v at the lights).
Best bet would be to break out the multimetre and a find out what input outputs your existing dash uses and go from there.

Good luck!
