Where is the washer motor fuse located in the Magotan?
2 Answers
The fuse for the Magotan's windshield washer motor is located in the fuse box on the left side of the engine compartment. Open the cover, and you will see clear labels indicating which fuses correspond to which components. Here is additional information: 1. If the washer motor is not functioning, first check the wiper switch on the combination stalk. The body control module (BCM) then sends a signal to the wiper motor, which activates the wiper. There are three potential points of failure if the wiper does not work: a BCM control issue, a wiper motor problem, or a combination switch issue. If you have confirmed that the wiper motor fuse is intact, you can then check the BCM and the wiper switch. If you are not familiar with electrical circuits, it is recommended to visit a repair shop or a 4S dealership for further diagnosis.
Once when helping a friend fix the water spray issue on their Magotan, I discovered the fuse box is located right in the engine bay. You pop the hood, and near the battery there's a black square box with an icon index printed on the back of its cover. The washer pump fuse is typically a 15A mini blade fuse, possibly numbered F42 (older models) or SC40 (newer models). If you can't find it, just look for the icon depicting a windshield washer pattern. A quick reminder: always turn off the engine and disconnect power before replacement. Use dedicated fuse pullers - never pry forcefully. While you're at it, check if the washer fluid reservoir nozzles are clogged. I once encountered a case where the fuse was fine, but the water delivery tube was crimped. Having the illustrated manual photos handy makes locating the position much more intuitive.
