Rear Wiper Not Working - Where's The Fuse?

Recommended Posts

'W' reg Toyota Avensis 1.8 petrol. Rear wiper stopped working during the snow. Not in 'home' position so presume I'd left it running when I turned ignition off; it froze in place then when I started the car it couldn't move so blew the fuse. However, where's the fuse for it? Nothing listed in fuse box under bonnet. Only one fuse behind glovebox (fuel heater). Finally found fusebox behind flap by driver's right knee but only one of the fuses is labelled 'wiper' there. Took it out & front stopped working. Does rear have a separate fuse and if so where is it?

Toyota garage were happy to tell me where the fuse boxes were (which I already knew) but couldn't/wouldn't look into individual fuses for me - referred me to £1.50/min 'Support Line' (09066610061).

Thanks

Are you sure it is definitely the fuse? I only ask as the wiper arms are made of some nasty soft alloy at the point they attach to the motor spindle. The alloy is easy to damage. It may be that the motor spindle is spinning inside the arm, hence no movement. You can check the arm is still correctly mounted by trying to move it across the window, if it won't move it is still connected. Beyond that I can be no further help I'm afraid. Good luck.

Not sure it's the fuse but the arm is solidly attached. Thanks anyway.
