Where is the windshield wiper fuse of the Opel Astra located?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Fuse box

The Opel Astra has two fuse boxes inside it. The first fuse box is located inside the front hood, next to the battery; the second fuse box is located inside the cabin behind the glove compartment. To replace the windshield wiper fuse, it is necessary to open the front hood and remove the cover of the fuse box. After removing the cover, we extract fuse number 7 from its slot and insert a new fuse with the same amperage, which is 15A. After inserting the fuse, we close the box and the hood. We operate the windshield wipers to test their functionality.
