Where is the fuse for the Magotan windshield washer motor located?
3 Answers
The fuse for the Magotan windshield washer motor is located in the fuse box on the left side of the engine compartment. Open the cover and look for fuse No. 22, which is either 30A or 25A. Below is some information about fuses: 1. A fuse is made of lead-antimony alloy wire with relatively high resistivity and a low melting point. 2. A fuse is also known as a fuse-link, defined by the IEC127 standard as a "fuse-link". Below is a classification of automotive fuses: (1) Blade-type automotive fuses (divided by size: small, medium, and large automotive fuses). (2) Glass tube automotive fuses (divided by size: 5*20mm; 6*30mm automotive fuses). (3) Bolt-type automotive fuses (divided by size: small and large automotive fuses).
I've noticed many people struggle to locate the washer pump fuse. In the Magotan, it's usually hidden behind the glove box on the passenger side, requiring removal of the interior panel to access the fuse box. It's best to refer to the manual diagram - look for the windshield washer symbol or position #30. When I replaced mine, I found an illustration on the inside of the fuse box cover - using a phone flashlight makes it easy to see. If the washer isn't working but the wipers move, it's likely either a blown fuse or a loose washer pump connector. Remember to check for clogged nozzles first before troubleshooting. Replacing the 15A mini fuse isn't difficult, but always remember to disconnect power before working.
Buddy, I just messed around with the Passat last week. The washer pump fuse usually hides behind the small storage compartment on the left side of the steering wheel - you'll need to pull out the entire storage box to access the fuse panel. Check the back of the fuse box cover for the exact location, typically it's a blue 15A fuse marked with a washer symbol. If your washer isn't working but the wipers still move, try bridging the fuse contacts with a screwdriver - if you hear the motor hum, that confirms the fuse is dead. While you're there, reseat the washer motor connector too, those VW plastic clips are prone to poor contact. Wear knee pads when working under there - those engine bay edges are brutal on your knees.
