Fuse for windscreen wiper

Postby StanTheMan » Fri Nov 20, 2009 8:40 pm

so My windscreen wipers have stoped working just in time for rego :roll:

I guess the first thing to check is the fuse. I've checked the ones on the drivers side in the black box in the engine bay.

does anyone know which one is actually the specific one for the wiper motor on the NA6?

Hey Stefan,
Check the fuse box under the driver's side dash.
The wiper fuse should be the only one that is 20 amps. :mrgreen:

gotcha. I'll check those under the dash.

I'm truly hopeless when it comes to electronics. :oops:

thanks Les

mmmm.....looks like it might be a bit more complicated. gawd thats a pain to get to.
I only pulled the 20 amp fuse & got a massive cramp. :lol: :roll:
but the fuse was fine. I'll check the othetrs regardless.

might pay to remove the seat. like i did for the clutch master cylinder

A contortionist is needed for that under dash fusebox. Plus a flashlight and little fingers.
