Where is the Front Windscreen Wiper Relay on a Skoda Octavia?

Model: Skoda Octavia 1U, MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Windshield wipers

In this video, you will see where the front windscreen wiper relay is located on a Skoda Octavia, one of the first components to check if the wipers suddenly stop working. As shown, the relay is positioned inside the cabin, specifically in the lower right area of the dashboard. To access the fuse box, simply unscrew the two indicated screws and detach the protective panel. The relay is labelled with the code 377 and is the largest one in that box. In case of failure, ensure you use a replacement with the same specifications.
