Ford Fiesta 1997

Does anyone know where I can find the fusebox? I can't find my manual at the moment, and need to check the fuse for rear windscreen wiper, which has stopped working.

Thanks

I 'think' it's under the bonnet on the passenger/windscreen side in a little box. But i could be wrong.

Main fuse box is under the right hand side of the instrument panel next to the steering wheel.
There's also an auxilliary fuse box under the bonnet next to the battery but it's recommended that you leave those ones to a mechanic.

I have a 1996 Fiesta ( M reg). You should have a little square shelf to the right of the steering wheel. At the end of that shelf, there should be a little handle. Pull this and you sould find the fuse box. Before doing so however, it is possible that the prblem may be in the boot. If you open up your tailgate, you will find three copper terminals on the lower hodywork which link with three springloaded terminals on the tailgate itself. Make sure there is nothing covering these when the tailgate is shut and also make sure the terminals are clean. Good luck.
ps, if you need further help, please advise.

check the heated screen works too fiestas are common for the contacts on the tailgate and landin panel corrodin,

if that is the case get sum sandpaper/emery tape and give the contacts a clean

Thank you all for your answers - You were right jayceebeard, it must have been something to do with the terminals in the boot, as after fiddling about it started working again!
