Where is the windshield washer fuse located in the Volkswagen CC?

The windshield washer fuse in the Volkswagen CC is located in the fuse box in the engine compartment. The fuse box is a black square box containing fuses and relays, positioned behind the left front headlight in the engine compartment, next to the battery. The dimensions of the Volkswagen CC are: length 4865mm, width 1870mm, height 1459mm, with a wheelbase of 2841mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters and a trunk capacity of 501 liters, with a curb weight of 1640kg. The Volkswagen CC is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Last time my Volkswagen CC's washer nozzle suddenly stopped working, and after troubleshooting, I found out it was a blown fuse. The wiper washer fuse in this car is mainly hidden in two locations: one is in the black box on the right side of the engine compartment (near the battery), where you can see the icon indication after lifting the cover; the other is behind the small drawer next to the driver's left foot. It's best to check the manual first to confirm the location, as it may vary by year. In my case, I found it in position 34 of the engine compartment box, a small 15A yellow piece. Replacing it yourself is simple: turn off the engine and disconnect the power, use the plastic clip in the box to pull it out, and replace it with one of the same amperage. However, I must remind you that if the new fuse blows again, it might be due to a short circuit caused by a leaking water hose, which needs to be addressed immediately.
If the windshield washer fluid doesn't spray out in a Volkswagen CC, it's most likely a fuse issue. Check the fuse box in the engine compartment first. Open the cover to see the diagram, and look for the position marked 'Washer Pump' or '32' (may vary by model). I've helped a friend replace it before—remember to have a 15A spare fuse ready. It's advisable to take a photo of the original setup before proceeding to avoid inserting the fuse in the wrong position. If it's not in the engine compartment fuse box, check the fuse box on the left side of the driver's seat. A quick reminder: use antifreeze washer fluid in winter, as forcing the spray when the hose is frozen can also blow the fuse, which many people overlook.
