    Only the fastest setting work on the front wipers. I guessing the motors are pretty dead. I looked online and cannot find anywhere that sells prius wiper motors. Suggestions?

    Not showing 2011 Prius, but maybe worth a gamble.

    Agree, if it works on High speed, then there's nothing wrong with the motor.

    On the other hand, it seems that the speed control could be located on the motor unit. Changing the motor unit might work.

    I just recently replaced the wiper motor on my Prius. Had to get it from a junk yard. Cost me only $85 and it works great! FYI, be sure you mark the position of the mechanical arms that attach to the old motor before removing it. I didn’t and it cost me a lot of time in trial and error getting the wiper movement correct. Hope you find this helpful!
