Surf Rear Window Control Fuse MIA

Post by dazza85 »

Do any of you Surf owners know where the fuse is for the rear window control and wiper ???
The wiper did not make it all the way home which went un-noticed in the dark when I opened & closed the back window.
While driving home I went to use the wiper and it did not work.
Checking it out when I got home I found the Wiper jammed in the window ...
Easy fix thought I ... not likely the window now wont wind down ...
I suspect a blown fuse ... Checked all the fuses in the panel down by the accelerator ... darn none saw they are for the back door ... checked each one any way ... none blown
Help
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

Thanks guys, this is a great help,
The answer was the wiper location switch 'cause the wiper head was not in the right place the sensor under it would not let the window move.
This switch is going to get looked at on a fine day cause when the wiper was not properly located in the first place whe window should not have moved !!

Thanks again
