Where is the wiper fuse located on the BMW X1?
2 Answers
The wiper fuse of the BMW X1 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Rotate the cover in the direction of the downward arrow to access the fuse. Fuse: Vehicle electrical equipment such as lights, horn, starter, and air conditioning all require fuse protection. Otherwise, if the current in the circuit becomes too high, the electrical appliances may burn out. The fuse serves a protective function. Fuse replacement: Turn off the engine and power equipment, locate the corresponding position, and use a small pry bar to open the protective cover. Component information can be seen inside the fuse box. Use a light or a test pen to perform a preliminary inspection of the fuse. If it is confirmed to be blown, consider replacing it. Only use a fuse with a similar current rating and size for replacement.
I remember tinkering with a similar issue before. The wiper fuse for the BMW X1 is hidden in the fuse box in the cabin, located near the driver's left foot—just bend down and you can feel the small panel. Open the cover, and you'll see a diagram of all the fuses inside. Simply look for the Washer or Wiper label, usually positioned in the middle of a row, often marked in blue or red with an amperage rating of 10A or 15A. Replacing it is straightforward: first, turn off the wiper switch and the car's power, then use a small pair of pliers or a dedicated tool to gently pull it out and check if it's blown. If it is, just buy a new fuse of the same specification and plug it back in. Don't underestimate it—once it fails, the wipers stop working, and visibility in the rain drops immediately. I've seen many friends panic over this. Regular checks can also prevent small issues from turning into big hazards.
