Alright folks just a quicky, my girlfriend's Ka has blown the fuse for the wipers but she doesn't know where the fusebox is and didn't get a handbook with her car.

Can anyone on here tell me where the fusebox is located and which fuse covers both front and rear wipers?

Also on a sidenote, does anyone know anywhere that could get an owners manual in PDF?

Mr RS, I forgot to mention, my girlfriend lives in Edinburgh, so I'm trying to explain all this to her, tis her first car and she hasn't a clue. Unfortunately I'm not on hand to sort it!

So far she has got a packet of fuses from the local garage :p

Step 2 - locate the fuse.

Ahh right lol, i unfortunately don't know anyone with a KA, but generally Fords have see through fuses, so it should be pretty handy to see which ones gone.

Hi,you've probably found the fuse by now but if not the fuse box is located at the far right hand size of the dash,you'll see a recessed panel,it just pulls off and there should be a little fuse removal tool attached to the inside of it.The layout of the fuses differs on the year of the ka,but as far as i know the fuse for the wipers and wash hasn't.The fuse number is F16 and its a 20A,if there's no guide on the back of the panel it's the second row up from the bottom and 5th from the left,hope this has been of some help!

id say take it to a garage and they would hardly charge her much to change a fuse, Would save alot of hassle trying to explain it :sob:

Well I must say she did very well, I emailed her Timor's advice and she managed to change it herself, great stuff!

Good to hear she got it sorted!I've been trying to get Jo interested in the basics but her attitude is why do it when she can get me to do it.....
