Where is the fuse for the windshield wiper of Lavida Plus?

[DelJake]

The wiper fuse of Lavida is located at the lower left front of the driver's cabin. Wiper arm: The lifespan of the wiper arm generally exceeds 5 years; the lifespan of the wiper motor varies greatly, closely related to the quality of the motor and whether it is used properly. Leaving aside the quality, let's talk about usage. Improper use can damage the motor in just one instance. For example, if the wiper blade is frozen in winter and the wiper is turned on, the blade won't move. Even if the driver immediately turns off the wiper switch, most wipers remain in a powered state, which can easily burn out the wiper motor. The reason for this situation is that the wiper's automatic return device is in operation. A qualified motor used properly can generally last more than 7-8 years or even longer. Introduction to Volkswagen Lavida: Lavida is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, launched in June 2008. While continuing the design language of "dynamic and stylish" in the A-segment car market, the LAVIDA Lavida embodies a new design DNA - "fusion."

The fuse for the Lavida Plus wipers is typically located in two positions. Under the lower left side of the dashboard, there's a small storage compartment. After opening it, look upwards to find a black plastic cover. Unclip the fasteners to reveal the fuse array. The fuse box in the engine compartment can also be checked—it's located next to the battery. After opening the red protective cover, you'll see a diagram. The specific number depends on the model year; I recommend directly referring to the fuse reference table on page 78 of the owner's manual. The wiper fuse number is likely between F20 and F25. If the wipers suddenly fail during heavy rain, you can cross-test with a spare fuse of the same amperage, such as temporarily using the 15A blue fuse for the interior light.

Last time my wipers suddenly stopped working was on the highway. The Lavida is thoughtfully designed - just pull open the storage compartment near the driver's knee area and lift firmly to remove the entire box, with a fuse diagram printed on the back. The wiper fuse is usually located at position SC38 in the middle row, easily removable with the orange clip. However, there are differences between the 2018 and 2022 models - in older versions it's marked '37' at the lower right corner of the engine compartment fuse box. I recommend keeping a mini fuse kit (5A to 30A) handy - you can buy 50 pieces online for about 20 yuan, ten times cheaper than dealership prices. Remember to turn off the power before replacing.

To locate the Lavida wiper fuse, follow these three steps: First, check below the steering wheel on the left side and open the cover with clips; there's also a square box near the battery in the engine compartment; the final trick is to consult the manual in the glove box. Volkswagen models commonly use fuse numbers SC37 or SB13, but their positions may vary between new and old models. I've seen cases where someone mistakenly pulled the ABS fuse, causing the warning light to come on, so it's best to take a photo of the original layout with your phone. When replacing, check if the melted metal wire inside is broken, and it's recommended to buy ceramic-core fuses for better durability.
