Where is the fuse for the Magotan wiper?
2 Answers
The fuse for the Magotan wiper is located on the left side of the engine compartment. Open the hood, and you will find a box on the right side—the fuse is inside. Below are some precautions for using the wiper: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray windshield washer fluid and avoid dry wiping. 2. If there are stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass, clean them manually. These can easily damage the wiper blade, leading to ineffective wiping and potential harm to the wiper motor. 3. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or routine cleaning, hold the 'backbone' of the wiper blade and gently return it—do not let it snap back abruptly. 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to clear ice from the windshield before using the wiper to avoid putting extra strain on it.
As a seasoned driver with over ten years of experience, I often encounter issues with windshield wipers, especially when they suddenly stop working during rainy days—it can be quite nerve-wracking. Take the Volkswagen Magotan for example: its wiper fuse is generally located on the driver's side. Once seated, look near your left knee, just below the steering wheel, where you'll find a small fuse box cover. Open it, and you’ll see various fuses arranged inside. Typically, the wiper fuse is labeled SC or a similar code—consulting the owner’s manual is the most accurate way to confirm. In my own Magotan, I found it last year at the SC15 position as indicated in the manual. If the wipers aren’t moving, it might not just be a fuse issue; it could also be due to motor overload or a short circuit caused by damp wiring. In such cases, avoid forcing the wipers to operate to prevent further damage. When replacing the fuse, use needle-nose pliers for gentle handling, and test the functionality afterward. Regularly cleaning the wiper system and roof drainage holes during maintenance can help prevent such minor hassles.
