Where is the wiper fuse of Audi A6 located?

The wiper fuse is located inside the left side cover of the dashboard in front of the driver's seat. Open the cover to see the fuse box, which is labeled with the specific models and positions of each fuse. Additional information on precautions for replacing the wiper of Audi A6: 1. Check the wiping state and whether the wiper arm has uneven swinging or missed wiping. If any of the following three situations occur, it indicates that the wiper is unqualified: First, the swing is not smooth, and the wiper jumps abnormally; Second, the contact surface of the rubber cannot fully fit the glass surface, resulting in wiping residue; Third, after wiping, the glass surface presents a water film state, with fine streaks, fog, or linear residue on the glass. 2. During the test, pay attention to whether the motor has abnormal noise: Special attention should be paid when the wiper motor makes a "buzzing" sound but does not rotate. This indicates that the mechanical transmission part of the wiper is rusted or stuck. In this case, immediately turn off the wiper switch to prevent burning out the motor.
When driving my Audi A6, I encountered a situation where the wipers stopped working, usually due to a blown fuse. The location is behind the small panel above the driver's footwell—pulling off the cover reveals the fuse box. Inside, there's a fuse slot marked with the wiper symbol, likely labeled F35 or a similar code. Note that the position may vary slightly across different model years of the A6, so I recommend checking the manual or inspecting the markings first. A blown fuse often results from wiper motor overload or a short circuit. If replacing it yourself, buy a fuse with the same amperage and insert it—avoid using incorrect wattage to prevent issues. Wiper failure during heavy rain on the highway is extremely dangerous. Whenever I notice this, I immediately pull over to inspect or seek repairs to avoid emergencies. For routine maintenance, periodically check the fuse condition to minimize such failures—safety always comes first.
