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.
