Where is the wiper fuse located in the new Santana?

The wiper fuse in the new Santana is located in the fuse box, which is positioned on the left side of the center console, inside the cover panel above the driver's footwell. The fuse (also known as a current fuse) is defined by the IEC127 standard as a 'fuse-link,' primarily serving an overload protection function. The fuse box refers to the housing that contains the fuses, which can be categorized into fuse tube boxes and fuse strip boxes. Below is some relevant information about the Santana: Body dimensions: Length: 4475mm, width: 1706mm, height: 1469mm, wheelbase: 2603mm, fuel tank capacity: 52.8L, trunk capacity: 466L. Vehicle powertrain: Equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 82kW and a maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
In my experience with the new Santana, the wiper fuse is usually tucked under the dashboard on the driver's left side in a small box. I once had wiper failure and found it easily by opening that panel; the cover is typically black plastic and just pops off. Inside, there's a bunch of fuse strips, and the one for the wiper will be labeled with a number like F25 or the word 'WIPER'. If you can't find it, checking the owner's manual is a sure bet. When the fuse blows, the wipers stop working, possibly due to leaves jamming the wipers or an electrical overload. No need to rush to a repair shop—just buy a fuse with the same amperage and replace it yourself; there's a clip in the toolkit to pull out the old one. Regularly cleaning the wiper grooves during car washes can prevent short circuits, saving money and ensuring safety.
For friends driving the new Santana, the location of the wiper fuse is quite clear in the interior fuse box. Specifically, it's on the left lower wall panel near the steering wheel. Just lift that plastic cover, and it's all visible. There's a label chart inside the box, and the wiper fuse is usually numbered around F25. I've dealt with wiper issues a few times—if the fuse is blown, just replace it, but make sure the amperage matches. Don't underestimate this small task; driving without functional wipers in the rain is seriously dangerous. Give it a try—keep spare fuses handy, and the tools are easy to find.
