The washer fuse in the 2016 Santana is located on the inner side of the driver's seat. The washer fuse, also known as the wiper fuse, plays a crucial role in ensuring the normal operation of the car's wiper circuit, preventing circuit failures that could lead to excessive current and potential fire hazards. The Santana is a compact car under SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the 2016 Santana 1.4L Manual Fashion Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm. The car features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan structure, a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, a curb weight of 1115kg, and a trunk capacity of 466 liters.
As someone who frequently works on car repairs, I know that the washer fuse for the 2016 Santana is usually located in the engine compartment's fuse box, which is a small black box near the battery. Open the cover and look for the fuse labeled "WASHER" or "Washer." Blown fuses are quite common, possibly due to a short circuit in the washer motor or blockage by debris, causing excessive current. When checking, first turn off the engine, pull out the fuse, and inspect whether the metal wire inside is broken. If it is, simply replace it with a new 10 or 15-amp fuse. If it still doesn’t work, the washer pump might be faulty or the wiring could be loose, requiring further inspection of the circuit. Although the washer system is small, it affects the safety of windshield cleaning by the wipers, so don’t delay repairs. Developing a habit of regular checks can save a lot of trouble, especially before driving in rainy weather.
