Where is the fuse for the Bora wiper located?

The fuse for the Bora wiper is located on the side of the main driver's dashboard. After opening the main driver's door, you can see it by prying open the cover on the side of the dashboard. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2688mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, trunk capacity 506L, and curb weight 1320kg. The 2021 Bora features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, and maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I also encountered wiper issues when I drove my Bora before. I remember the fuse was located under a small cover panel on the left side below the dashboard on the driver's side. Opening it reveals a row of fuses. The specific wiper fuse is labeled F18 or similar, but you should check the manual to confirm based on the year and model, as the position may vary slightly between versions. When checking, it's best to prepare a fuse puller or a simple tool to remove and inspect if it's blown—blackened or broken filaments mean it needs replacement. This issue is often caused by wiper motor overload or circuit shorting, which is especially dangerous in rainy weather, so prompt action is necessary. Replacing the fuse yourself is quite simple—just buy one with the matching amperage. However, if you're a beginner and can't locate the cover panel, there might also be a secondary fuse box on the right side of the engine bay. It's recommended to try the dashboard location first for a more straightforward fix and to avoid wasting time.

From my driving experience, the Bora's wiper fuse is generally located in the fuse box under the steering wheel in the cabin. You can find it by lifting the small cover panel near your left leg on the dashboard. The labeling is usually position 15 or 18, depending on the model year. Why is it designed there? Mainly for easy driver maintenance, unlike the engine compartment which requires getting out of the car to open the hood. Fuse blowouts commonly occur due to voltage instability or when the wipers get stuck from aging, causing the entire system to fail. The inspection method involves carefully checking with a flashlight against the diagram, pulling out the faulty fuse once located, and replacing it with a new one of the same specification—around 10 amps is suitable. Don’t forget to check this during regular maintenance, especially before the rainy season. It helps prevent more severe circuit damage, and this simple step can save you a trip to the repair shop.

I understand this issue because I was also nervous when my wipers failed last time. In the Bora, the fuse is located in the square box at the lower left corner of the dashboard, and you can easily reach it by bending slightly. The position is ergonomically designed, and the plug is easy to remove and insert. If it blows, the wipers will stop completely, possibly due to motor stalling or water splash short-circuiting, especially during heavy rain, which poses a significant hazard. When I replace it myself, I first take a photo with my phone to record the original setup to avoid incorrect installation. I recommend using small pliers for the job. For safety, check the fuse condition before driving in the rain, and pay extra attention to clear visibility if you have children in the car.

The wiper fuse is located in the fuse box under the driver's seat of the Bora. Open the left cover of the instrument panel to access it, and refer to the manual for the specific number. From a technical perspective, the fuse is a protective device that prevents excessive current from damaging equipment, typically rated at 15A. The inner location is designed to be dustproof and waterproof, but common failures are caused by accidental contact during vehicle modifications or aging leading to short circuits and burnout. Use a test pen to check for conductivity—replace immediately if burned out, and avoid buying low-ampere parts to save costs. Additionally, there is a main fuse box in the engine compartment, where the wiper fuse might occupy just one slot. If not found in the main box, checking there could save time.
