Hi all,

My father just bought a secondhand Up! GTI, and it seems the front wiper relay is a bit buggy. I sometimes hear the relay clicking/crackling, but then the wipers will not wipe... Does anybody know the exact location of the relay on the fuse/relay box?

Thanks.

I don't think they have any relays, it's all controlled by the BCM or Body Control Module. I'd be taking it back to where you bought it or a dealer, I'd imagine it's still under manufacturer warranty

Hi there,

From this other post, there's s list of fuse locations if it's any help.

There are 3 fuse boxes on the Up - the one in the engine bay (that you found), one inside the dash and one under the dash. All of the components you mention are controlled by the under-dash box: the 12V socket is #36, the rear windscreen wiper motor is #14 and the heater blower is probably #37. I found the full list of assignments and box locations at https://fuse-box.info/volkswagen/volkswagen-up-2011-2017-fuses .
Good to know how you get on!
