Where is the wiper fuse located in the Volkswagen Tiguan?

The wiper fuse of the Volkswagen Tiguan is located in the fuse box at the lower left of the dashboard in the driver's compartment. Wiper maintenance tips: 1. In winter when the weather is colder, promptly clean any accumulated water on the wiper blades and windshield after washing the car to prevent the wipers from freezing and malfunctioning. 2. Regularly inspect your wiper blades for cracks or damage. If any are found, replace them immediately to avoid scratching your car's windshield. 3. Avoid parking outdoors for extended periods when the car is not in use. If unavoidable, lift the wipers to prevent them from freezing to the windshield when snow melts. 4. After each use, promptly remove any ice buildup on the wiper blades. 5. Turn off the wipers before shutting down the engine. In heavy snow conditions, lift the wiper blades at night to prevent them from freezing.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for several years and have also encountered headaches with wiper issues. The wiper fuse is usually located in the instrument panel fuse box under the driver's seat. You can crouch down and open that plastic cover to look for it. Specifically, it's near the left footrest area, where there are many small colored fuses. Based on my experience, the wiper fuse might be labeled with numbers like F38 or F40, as detailed in the manual. If the wipers suddenly stop working, don't rush to fix them immediately—when visibility is poor in the rain, the risk factor skyrockets. I recommend turning on the hazard lights and pulling over right away. During inspection, first use a multimeter to check if the fuse is blown, and also observe if the wiper motor is overheating to avoid turning a minor issue into a major repair. Develop a habit of regular checks, like inspecting the fuse condition monthly, which can save you a lot of trouble.
