Where is the Xiali wiper fuse located?

It is located inside the fuse box in the engine compartment. Replacing the fuse: There is a white clip provided inside the fuse box (used to remove the fuse). Using the fuse clip makes it easy to remove the old fuse, and then installing the new fuse completes the task. However, it's important to note that attempting to remove it by hand is nearly impossible—no matter how strong your nails are, it's futile. So, don't forget about the existence of the white clip. Types of fuses: There are two types of automotive fuses: high-current and low-current fuses. Generally, medium to low-current fuses are more common in cars, and the wiper fuse is a blade-type fuse.
I found that on my Xiali car, the wiper fuse is usually hidden in the small fuse box under the steering wheel in the center console. After opening that little cover, you have to search among a bunch of fuses for the one labeled "Wiper" or "WIPER." Sometimes the labels are faded, so I refer to the position diagram in the manual—after all, that’s how I fixed my old car. If you can’t locate the position or the fuse is blown, don’t rush to replace it; first, use a small pair of pliers to pull it out and check if it’s blackened. When the wipers stop working, visibility in rainy weather becomes dangerous, so I always remind myself to regularly inspect the fuse box to prevent these small issues. Fuses are cheap and easy to replace, but if swapping it out doesn’t fix the problem, it might be a motor or wiring issue—then it’s time to call a professional.
When looking for the wiper fuse on my Xiali, I usually check the fuse box location on the left side of the steering wheel. After opening the cover, it's like a small grid of squares inside, with each fuse labeled for its function—the wiper one is typically a 15A blue mini fuse. Whenever I encounter such issues, I make it a habit to first disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits and potential shocks; then I use a multimeter to check for current continuity. If the wiper fuse is blown, it's mostly due to circuit overload or loose connections, and you can easily replace it yourself with a new fuse costing just a few bucks. But don't just focus on the fuse—the wiper motor might also be faulty. When driving normally, I always pay attention to cleaning dust accumulation in the fuse box to avoid moisture corrosion.
