Where is the fuse for the Magotan windshield washer motor located?
4 Answers
Magotan windshield washer motor fuse is located in the fuse box on the left side of the engine compartment, specifically the No. 22 fuse (30A or 25A). Taking the Magotan 2020 280TSI DSG Comfort model as an example: The manufacturer of this vehicle is FAW-Volkswagen, classified as a mid-size car with gasoline power, maximum power of 110kw, and maximum torque of 250nm. The vehicle dimensions are 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. It features front-wheel drive, MacPherson strut front suspension, and multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've driven Volkswagen cars for over a decade, including the Magotan. Last time when the windshield washer malfunctioned, it was a fuse issue. The location is in the engine compartment. You open the hood, and on the left side, there's a plastic box which is the fuse box. Open the cover and you'll find a diagram showing the position and amperage of each fuse. The one for the washer motor is usually labeled 'WASH PUMP' or similar, typically between 15A to 20A, depending on your car's model year. If you can't find it, check the owner's manual for detailed instructions. The main reasons for a blown fuse are overload or short circuit in the washer motor, like forcing the washer to work when the hose is clogged. Replacing it yourself is simple: turn off the engine, use a plastic clip to pull out the bad fuse, and insert a new one with the same amperage. But for safety, if you're not familiar with it, don't tamper with it to avoid electric shock or causing other faults. Regular maintenance, like cleaning the washer nozzles and using antifreeze washer fluid, can help prevent such issues.
As a car enthusiast who frequently tinkers with vehicles, I can help you locate the fuse for the Magotan's windshield washer motor. It's primarily located in the engine compartment fuse box, situated near the windshield corner under the hood. Open the box, and the diagram on the lid will indicate the fuse number related to the washer system - for instance, Volkswagen commonly uses SC20, though its position may vary (check under the dashboard, but the front compartment is more typical). If the fuse blows, it might be due to motor jamming or aged wiring. After replacing it, if the system still doesn't function, inspect the water pump or potential tank blockage. Always ensure the engine is off and wear gloves when DIY-ing, keeping matching spare fuses handy for emergencies. Additionally, maintaining a clean wiper system and pre-winter inspections can prevent malfunctions.
I just helped a friend fix this issue with the Magotan. The fuse is located in the engine compartment fuse box. Open the engine hood, find the small box at the front and open it. There's a diagram indicating the washer motor fuse, usually around position 15. Blown fuses are often caused by instant overload, such as foreign objects jamming the pump. Replacing the fuse is easy—just match the amperage. Driving safety comes first; if you're not sure, don't force it.
