Why isn't the rear windshield wiper of the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 working?
Years 2003-2008

Answer

If the rear windshield wiper of the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 does not work, it is very likely that the protective fuse has broken; check the integrity of fuse 41 in the fuse box on the left of the dashboard. If this protection is intact, the motor may have been damaged or some contacts may have been disconnected; in this case, it is necessary to remove the trunk panel and check the wires. Another problem that causes this malfunction is related to incorrect closing of the trunk, for example due to a collision; check the correct end of the door's travel.
