1996 Sharan Fusebox And Front Wiper Problem

[slartybartfast]

Wondering if anyone would have an idea or wiring diagrams for the front and rear windscreen wiper systems? Or even a breakdown of the relays and the numbers for the main fuse box under the steering wheel on a 1996 2.0l petrol sharan... Is the fusebox the same on the Galaxy?

 

I have a couple of problems with my sharan at the moment. While trying to fault find a current drain problem I took out all of the relays one by one and all the fuses one by one. I found the current drain on my interior lights circuit.

 

However after having put everything back together I now find that my front windscreen wipers dont work in any mode!!

 

I have a haynes manual but that is very vague and centres around the gal with the central fusebox..completely different.

 

If anyone could offer advice to help with fixing my wiper problem I would appreciate it!! I have since checked all the fuses for continuity and the relays are all seated.

 

I have checked for voltage at the wiper stalk and I seem to have some 12 V on some pins. But without knowing which relay in the box or wiring data I have quite a problem.

I have attached a pic (or will attempt to!) of the fusebox and cover.

according to autodata your relay for the wipers is No 8 (99. in your picture) and there are 3 fuses on the wiper cicuit

F4-20amp-rear wiper

F5-10amp-washer jet heater if fitted

F24-30amp-power to relay for front wipers

 

hope this helps
