rossi 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Came to my car today, and my front wipers are kaput. Rear one works fine. Are the wiper motors known for going after 18 years lol? (only assuming it the original). What fuse no powers the wipers btw? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted July 21, 2007 If the wiper is the original one it could die at any time without warning imo. Fuse #3 does both wiper motors & radio on the 1989 GTi along with the stop lights so it seems to be Ok if the rear wiper is working. Take the cover over the wiper motor off & check for vlotage at the plug witht e wipers on. Posdsible that the wiper stalk has died. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
