The windshield washers are not working, I noted fuse 12 was burned out. Could you provide a fuse chart that gives correct fuse amp and what is controlled. This is a german model. I don't have a replacement fuse yet but want to make sure I am replacing with the correct size is fue 12 the likely culprit?

I would be checking that the washer pump motor is actually working when the fuse is replaced, it may be faulty causing the fuse to burn, replace that fuse and then check that the washer motor is actually working.
