Hi all
I've aquired a 2000 Fabia for my son to drive, What a nice little car! However, here we are two weeks later and the wipers have stopped working. And it's raining! Owners Manual looks good but seems a bit different to the actual car. Firstly it's written for a LH car, second the instructions for removing the fuse cover are incorrect, then having removed the cover, the fuses don't appear to be numbered. However, having inspecteded all the 20A fuses, and then for good measure checked all the others. I still have no wipers. So here I am on the net trying to find some clues. Happy days. Ralph

Hi welcome to briskoda, my wipers packed up on my fabia and it was just a couple of fuses needing replaced, might also be worthwhile to see if the bonnett is shut properley, it might sound silly but I have heard this can stop the wipers to work. If it is the fuses re the wipers it is a common problem on the fabia.

Hope this helps

Hello & welcome

Yes, the bonnet not being closed will stop the wipers working!

My wipers packed up to and when you pulled the stick for a front wash/wipe, the rear wiper wiped????

Changed the fuses and it's all ok now.
