Where is the wiper fuse located in the 2017 New Jetta?
3 Answers
The wiper washer fuse for the New Jetta is located in the fuse box in the engine compartment; you can see the fuse box by opening the hood, it is next to the engine, in front of the steering wheel. Usage of the wipers: By pushing the control lever up and down, you can control the wiper's operation (momentary, off, auto, and high/low speed). If in the auto mode, you can adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor-controlled wipers by turning the adjustment knob, thereby changing the wiper frequency. As for the front windshield washer, simply pull the control lever towards the driver, and the windshield washer and wipers will operate simultaneously. Precautions for using the wipers: If you find that the washer fluid is not spraying out but the wipers are working, do not continue to press the button. Instead, check if the washer fluid warning light is on. If it is, you should promptly refill the washer fluid.
I used to drive a 2017 Jetta, and the wiper fuse is located in the small box under the steering wheel. When you sit in the driver's seat and look down above your left knee, there's a plastic cover you can pry open. Inside, you'll see a bunch of small colored squares. The wiper fuse is usually blue or yellow, marked with numbers like 15 or 20. If it's hard to find, flip the cover over—there's a diagram on the back. Just a heads-up: it's best to do this with the engine off and the ignition not powered, to avoid short circuits. Also, older Jettas often have snap-on fuse boxes that you can open with just your fingernail—no tools needed. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, any roadside shop can handle it for about 20 yuan.
Remember that the wiper fuse for the 2017 Jetta is located in the fuse box near the driver's position. Look down above your knee. After opening the cover, check the diagram carefully—the wiper fuse is labeled 'WIPER' or marked with a wiper icon. Note that the position may vary slightly depending on the trim level; in base models, it might be the third fuse from the right in the row. I recommend checking the manual first. If unavailable, identify it by color—usually a blue base with white lettering, rated at 15A. Also, when replacing the fuse in winter, wipe your hands dry to avoid moisture on the metal contacts, which can cause poor connectivity. Additionally, be aware that there's another fuse box on the passenger side—don’t mix them up—that one controls the audio and AC system.
