Magotan windshield washer motor fuse is located in the fuse box on the left side of the engine compartment. The function of the fuse is to protect the circuit (wiring) and electrical equipment. Automotive fuses can be divided into blade-type automotive fuses (which can be divided into small, medium, and large automotive fuses by size) and glass tube automotive fuses. Taking the Magotan 2020 280TSI DSG Comfort model as an example: it is a medium-sized 4-door 5-seater sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4865mm, 1832mm, and 1471mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2871mm, and a top speed of 208 kilometers per hour.

I've driven a Magotan for many years. The fuse for the windshield washer motor is mainly located in the fuse box in the engine compartment, usually near the battery. You can find that small black box by opening the engine hood while driving. Inside, there are densely labeled F-number fuses. Refer to the owner's manual to look up 'washer motor' or similar terms, typically between F23 to F40. The exact position may vary slightly depending on the specific model. It's best to turn off the engine and disconnect the negative battery terminal before checking. Use special pliers to pull out the fuse and see if it's blown or blackened. If it's burnt, it might be due to a clogged nozzle causing motor overload. Clean the nozzle and replace the fuse—just don’t use one exceeding 20A, as it may lead to repeated failures. For maintenance, avoid using tap water with heavy limescale to prolong its lifespan. If you encounter issues, stay calm and proceed safely—safety first.

As a frequent self-driving tour enthusiast and Magotan owner, I recommend checking the fuse location first if the windshield washer isn't spraying water. Look for the fuse box under the hood, near the driver's side. Most are labeled 'Washer' or with icon tags. Follow the manual step by step to identify the corresponding number (e.g., F25). When replacing, ensure your hands are dry and stand steady to avoid electric shock. A blown fuse is often caused by frozen washer fluid or a clogged pump increasing the load. After replacement, test the spray function. If it still doesn't work, you may need to check the motor or wiring. Neglecting this issue can increase accident risks in rainy weather due to poor visibility. Developing a habit of checking fuse conditions and cleaning nozzles quarterly can prevent problems. Always test the washer before driving to ensure clear visibility.

I just dealt with the wiper issue on the Magotan. The fuse is located in the engine compartment fuse box, easily visible on the battery side. Open the cover and look for relevant labels such as 'Wiper' or a number like F30, referring to the manual for precise positioning. If the water doesn't spray, it's likely the fuse has blown—simply replace it with a new one, no need to panic. It's a quick five-minute DIY job. Just remember to use the same amperage and avoid upgrading the specification to prevent potential hazards.
