Yes as some other sugested check fuse no 33 befor doing anything else ,
But make sure you check no24 also just in case coz mine shows 24 for front screen on diagram but when I checked it , it was fine insted it was no 33 which was blown , replaced it and its working now.

Great advice. Had ruled out fuses after finding no. 20 was ok, which had the wiper picture on it. Fortunately checked on this site before I was going to take to a garage. 2 minute job.

Thankyou all so very very much. Was having a big stress over this problem. (front wipers not working). Came a cross your web site. Over the moon it was the fuse 33. Saved us alot of money. will be using this site again.

Thank you so much fuse 33 was the problem for me too, saved me a trip to the garage and a hefty bill esp at this time of year.

Hi thanks to all of you regarding their answers to Front wiper not working on their Sharan/Galaxy, I had the same problem today with the front wiper not working & rear wiper working!, you all saved me an expensive trip to the mechanic, the manual for the Sharan hasn't got fuse 33 listed under Wipers!!! Managed to take fuse 33 out and it was the culprit... thanks.

yep fuse 33. it has a fan on it and i never checked it. got new motor, took dash apart, switch removed, checked mechanism and fuse 33 was the culprit all along.

Just put a new wiper switch in the sharan beacause of the same problem, wish I'd looked here first!!!!! same fault, Fuse 33 has a picture of a fan on it, No wonder I didnt see it before. Changed the fuse, works fine now.

Great job Chay mine had the same problem rear wiper would come on when you tried to spray the front changed the 10amp fuse No. 33 bottom row but mine was second from left

RudeBoy, January 2010

CHAY, December 2009

get your owners manual out and check fuse 33 it's the bottom row 2nd from the right it should be horizontal not vertical
