Where is the Windscreen Wiper Relay in a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Windshield wipers

If the windscreen wipers on your Volkswagen Golf have suddenly stopped working, the first thing to do is check the status of the corresponding relay, whose location is shown in this video. As demonstrated, the relay is located in the fuse box inside the cabin, specifically beneath the dashboard on the driver's side. It is labelled with the number 377 and is the last one at the bottom right when viewing the box from the front. If faulty, ensure to replace it with a spare of equivalent specifications and always work with the vehicle switched off to avoid damage.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
