Where is the fuse for the Bora's windshield washer motor located?

The fuse box for the Bora's windshield washer motor is located on the left side of the center console, specifically behind the panel above the driver's footwell. You can then check the label on the back of the fuse box to locate the exact position of the windshield washer motor fuse. When a circuit experiences a fault or abnormality, the current may rise continuously, potentially damaging important or valuable components in the circuit, or even causing the circuit to burn out or start a fire. If a fuse is correctly installed in the circuit, it will melt and cut off the current when the current rises abnormally, thereby protecting the safe operation of the circuit. Precautions for replacing fuses: Before replacing a fuse, turn off the ignition switch and the corresponding electrical device. Always replace the fuse with one of the same rated current as specified on the fuse box cover, and never use a fuse with a higher current rating. If a fuse with the same current load cannot be found, you may use one with a lower rated current instead. If the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates that there may be a fault in the circuit system, and it should be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
When I encountered a water spray issue with my Volkswagen Bora, I found that the fuse for the spray motor is mainly located in the fuse box in the engine compartment. The box is positioned near the inner side of the hood, and after opening it, you can see a diagram label indicating the fuse number for the wiper system, usually marked with an "F" followed by one or two positions. I remember that time I replaced a 10A fuse—just pulled it out to check if it was blown, then put in a new one, and everything worked fine. The purpose of the fuse is to prevent circuit overload and avoid damage to the water pump. I usually recommend checking whether the spray pipes and nozzles are clogged and ensuring there’s enough fluid to prevent frequent fuse blowouts. If you can’t find the exact location, the Bora’s owner’s manual has detailed diagrams. Developing a habit of regular maintenance can reduce problems. Safe driving is crucial, especially in rainy conditions with poor visibility—don’t take it lightly.
I know the Bora's windshield washer motor fuse is located in the engine compartment fuse box, positioned towards the front or side. When I repair my car myself, I open the box and there's a diagram—the fuse number for the washer is clearly marked. I pull it out firmly to check if it's blown. Replacing a new fuse is simple; just buy one with the matching amperage and be careful not to touch metal parts to avoid a short circuit. A malfunction in the washer system isn't always due to the fuse—it could be an aging motor or loose wiring. I always carry a toolbox for emergencies and also take the opportunity to check the battery and lights. Regular maintenance can prevent unexpected issues and make driving more reassuring.
In my experience with the Bora, the windshield washer motor fuse is mostly located in the engine compartment fuse box. If the washer malfunctions, first check the location diagram there, then inspect the fuse condition and replace it promptly to avoid hazards during rainy days. The fuse protects the circuit from overload, and related maintenance includes checking fluid levels and cleaning the nozzles. For safety, resolve any malfunctions as soon as possible.
