The fuses are behind the small recess in the dashboard below and right of the steering wheel in right hand drive 55S. Remove the two crosshead screws at the top to remove this and reveal the fuses.

How do you fix Fiat Punto windscreen wipers They start halfway up the screen After a frost the wipers jumped and are now stuck at the halfway point. When switched on they go up down stay halfway?

You will need to remove the wiper arms from the gear, they are normally held on with a bolt under a cover, and reposition them at their proper starting point. They should work normally after that unless the gear is stripped from the frost seizing them. What happened is that they were stuck to the windscreen when you turned them on and the motor turned anyways causing them to slip out of position on the gear.

How do you replace fiat punto windscreen wiper control unit?

I'm guessing you mean the front wiper here,- you just remove the cover over the nut and unscrew using spanner. make sure its not too loose or it will come off during motion. that's as far as i can help. THE WIPER CONTROL UNIT IS UNDER THE BLACK PANEL UNDER THE WIPERS,, TAKE OFF WIPERS AND BLACK PLASTIC PANEL CONTROL UNIT UNDERNEATH,,,,


The drivers side windscreen wiper on a fiat punto has stopped working but the passenger side is fine How can you fix it?

This has just happened to my wifes Punto. Had to replace the wiper motor, as the linkage came apart due to wear. You cannot replace the arms, therefore, new motor. You could just try clipping it back in, but it is doubtful. Lift the bonnet. At the back at the top, just under the windscreen, you will see the arms. The one you are talking about will most probably be lying at the bottom, disconnected. Rip off if you ask me.


How do you fit a new back windscreen wiper to a Fiat Punto?

I had the same problems with my Punto sx 60, 1998 reg. I bought a complete unit. It will be necessary to unscrew the old one and then replace with the new one. hope this helps.......Claire Peronally, I suggest you give up and buy a new car entirely- Fiats are cheap for a reason. This time it would be useful to get one with a back windscreen included. Hope this helps.... Melon
