My windscreen washers just decided to pack up today, full bottle so no I'm not being a numpty lol. Had a quick look for the fuse as the motor is silent when trying to spray the screen. Anyone know exactly which fuse I'm looking? Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

Where about's are the aux 1 fuses? I've took the panels off lower right of the steering wheel but they don't appear to be in there.

This is what in looking at.

Up at the top - above the obd port in with the relays

EDIT - also check fuse 9 in the bottom section - that feeds the washer switch

Thanks, managed to get it out, no way of telling if its blown though. Worse possible time of year for it to blow and I'm no where near a seat dealers!

They are only std size or mini fuses that are used - most large petrol stations keep packs of them in.

You dont need a stealers for them

Haha it would appear I'm having a mare! 9 hasn't blown, other than the fuses directly below the odb port I can't see any others, and none of them appear to be blown :(

The washers are indirectly controlled through the electronic control unit.

Is everything else working ? - if something else has also stopped it might identify the fuse.

Try some of these :

Fuse 19 - Electronic control unit
Fuse 22 - Electronic control unit
Fuse 44 - wipers
Fuse 56 - rear wipers

May be worth mentioning that fuses 1-24 are the little 'uns while 25-58 are the bigger ones.

You count across the top row then the middle row etc for each of the two groups.

Someone put a diagram on these pages some time ago - you may find it with a search.

hi thanks for posting these threads it helped me fix my seat ibiza mk V 67 plate as previous suggestions the seat handbook is just a book of misleading information and the help here helped me fix a simple washer bottle pump after some cold weather during lockdown so id though it show you exactly where mine was just incase it helps someone before opting to change an awkward to get to simple washer pump. i only found it as it looked discouloured and sitting all alone away from other fuses (fuse58)
