Thank you very much for such a good video and description. I have problem with my skoda fabia 2005 SDI 1.9 when I turn on the windshield wiper fluid, my rear wiper turns on. Also, when the gearbox in reverse, the warning lights on the dashboard will not turn on

[@HatBoyHarvey]

First I would suspect the wiper switch, spray electrical contact spray into the switch mechanism at the base while actuating it in all directions with the battery disconnected of course. See if that makes any difference. Consider renewing the switch. It could be a fault in the central electrical control unit as I think you are thinking by looking at this video. The relays are inside this unit soldered onto it. It maybe worth removing this, replaceing it or repairing any relay and on board issue such as dry solder joints. This is usually a specialists job if you don't know what you are doing. The reverse gear light could be a wiring connection issue somewhere including to the binnacle and will need investing. :-)

[@rastislavstraka8107]

I checked the schematics for 2003 mk.I Fabia 1.9TDi 74kw and that relay in position 5 must be for diesel injectors. But schematics show it should be on position 1. But then i have schematics for Left Hand Drive cars, and also if i remeber correctly those red wires are not wired this way in LHD car, they are more tidy. PS: by Left Hand Drive i mean cars with stearing on left, not sure if i am using right terminology here.

Thanks for sharing :-)

[@georgetoderita3919]

Does any of those relays could be linked with the audio system of the car?

[@bartvansuijlekom6049]

I read somewhere that the grey relay (position 11) does something with the window regulators, en wipers when turning the ignition on. He said that those electrics doesn’t like the current drop/difference at the moment you turn ignition on. So that’s the reason the wipers wil temporary stop when you’re starting the car. When te relay isn’t good anymore, it can cause trouble to the window regulator. I have done everything to the electrics of the window regulators of my Fabia mk1 from 2007, and this is the last option for me. Because my windows only are working for about 10 minutes after I disconnect, and reconnect the connectors on the window motor itself. Hope this will finally fix the window problems for me.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks. Drain the system, change out the thermostat. Then reverse flush the core with a hose (use low pressure) from the cold side connected to the pipe detached further up the line into a container, fill with rad/matrix cleaner and leave for a while, then refill and repeat a few times. Reattach hoses and refill with new coolant and away you go. You can superglue the cv rubber if only small tear if relatively new and no water has got in. console bushes will need a tool to extract and install, but you maybe able to make one. Will video these at some point. Hope this helps, good luck on MOT :-)

From the passenger side, it opens everything well. It works like that for a while and then nothing works. In Google, they write such a combination of such failures, it directs me to a broken modem.

Apparently using intermittent wipers increases wear on the relay as this activates and deactivates the relay more. I found my wipers stopped working randomly (usually in the rain) and replacing the voltage control unit fixed the issue.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

That is great to hear, probably the easier thing to do. You are right about the intermitant thing, but I wouldn't stop using that function just to save a relay, I'd prefer to live a little :-)

re-coding can be done with vagcom. For the AC you will need some refrigerant to top it up (online can), but may need to be checked for leaks and pre-vacuum applied. this is not easy if you don't know what you are doing so if you are unsure it is best taken to a service centre.

Sorry, spelling mistake, I meant 'those' Anyway the next this is check the earthing connections (brown wires) then all other connections. The lighting switch pulls out from the drivers side dash panel, if that works independently then it will be the supply wire you need to trace.

Hi. Is this the same location for the mk2? I have central locking problems. With key and inside of the car on the button it’s just dead.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Same as mk1 the central locking comfort unit is above the clutch on the drivers side on RHD vehicles. Your issue is likely to be either a failing key fob battery, broken wire or connection issue behind the rubber bellows on the A pillar or a worn out micro switch within the door lock mechanism. Check, fix, replace these first before venturing further afield IMHO :-)

Hello, thanks for the video. I want to ask you that my windshield wipers stopped working all of a sudden. Is the box in the video the reason? Thank you

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If the relay for the wipers is not in the scuttle panel near the wiper motor it will be in here. Make sure to eliminate everything else before looking inside here as teh relay will need de-soldering and then re-soldering a new one. Check fuses, power to motor cables etc first. hope this helps and you can get it fixed :-)

Hello and thanks for the upload. I have a mk1 1.2 petrol. The remote central locking does not work. The key transmits a signal but nothing happens. It only worked slightly if I pressed the button when the key is pretty much in the car through the drivers window. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Love this car. 👍

[@HatBoyHarvey]

New key battery and check the car battery has good charge, 12.6V, the alternator charges 14V+ and the earth to the body has good ground. test locking manually in lock. Then look at all connections in the system. Start with checking fuses, then the wires and connections running into the drivers door by the A pillar. Drivers door lock mech fails by the microswitch on these so if that has never been changed then I would do that as they don't cost much only time/effort. of course the key maybe faulty (rare) check with second key if you have one. I have a videos on some of these somewhere :-)

But when I give the left or right signal on the dashboard, they appear as if they are briefly moving much faster .with the hazard lights it moves normally but no bulb lights up no matter what I do. Thank you

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Sounds like a short somewhere, I would use a multi meter to test each lamp socket in turn and then move to the wiring testing for continuity and high resistance on each leg. You could try changing the hazard switch to eliminate that. Relays are solid state on PCB for electronic control unit under drivers dsh

[@VforValenti]

Is it there the flasher (indicators) relay too? I can't find it.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You won't, they are integrated within the central electrical control unit as solid state devices somewhere which are maintenance free, any faults will usually be down to the lamps or connection issues within the lamp holder or rarely the indicator stalk witch itself. The indicator noise comes from the instrument panel speaker. Check/replace lamps and connections and spray/clean indicator stalk (I think i did a video on this bit, but may do another) Thanks :-)

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Make sure you battery is in a good state and ground is good. Take the earth lead off then take the instrument binnacle out and then clean the contact and re-connect. If still not working then the binnacle needs looking at. One thing would be to look at the solder joints on the PCB.

[@vikramgaware]

Hello Harvey, I have a Skoda Fabia 1.4 16v Ambiente 5dr. The battery had died due to emergency lights being on all day. I jump started the car and now the car starts properly but the internal lights, front wiper, radio and turn signal (indicators) doesn’t work. I checked the fuses and they all are working fine. What do you think can be the problem?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Check the battery resting voltage, if it keeps draining then you need to find the source. The electrical control unit houses the wiper relay which may have gone bad, check all connections there are good. you may have an earth fault. Do you have a good ground to the battery, check, test, clean, replace.

[@suatsaltk4565]

Harvey I have a problem with my 2004 Fabia mark 1 1.4 tdi. Under 3 degree celcius my car gives P0600 ECU connection error and gives steering pump abs and airbag error in dashboard. Ithink the CAN line has a proble but can you show in one of your videos where the Comfort can exist on the vehicle. Regards,

[@HatBoyHarvey]

On right hand vehicles it is under the drivers side lower dash next to the clutch and Hvac unit. You have a connection error or errors with the ECU or with another control unit which may not be easy to trace and fix, Cold weather always affects the battery, so look there first then all connection by taking off and reconnecting - often just that works. Do it systematically checking power and continuity. It is a possibility the ECU is failing also, but check everything else first. You may have your work cut out as it could take a long time. KZbin's 'Diagnose Dan' in Germany would be your man for this :-)

[@casperriis2546]

Hey Harvey, great video. I have a problem with my 2003 Fabia, that when i turn on my wipers to second level (speed) it blows a fuse. So i can only use my wipers in the first level (speed) (I dont have english as my native language, but Hope you understand what I mean). I got my windshield wiper engine changed, it didnt help. So I heard that maybe i need to change the whole relay box (also heard somebody call it a "comfort box", not sure if it is the same.) Do you think it could solve my problem? And also I heard from this guy that could help me get a new box, that i need to find some number on the box to make sure i get the right one. Do you know if its a "standard" number or do i need to get it out to find the number? Hope you can answer some of my questions ☺️. Thanks again for the great videos you make!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

yes if you have changed the wiper motor and checked the fuse to be the correct size, check the function of the relay. You could just replace the relay or the whole unit (number printed on side as in video, but check with your model). I think that I would check the wiring first to see if there is a resistance fault going to the motor by checking the ohm reading from end to end if you can trace the correct colour wires from the motor to the 'voltage control unit'

[@MRDIY-RX8]

Hello friend, i have one question for the control unit module with relay which is it relay is for the rear wiper motor

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Good question, I mention in the video that it is possibly the last one, but haven't tested that. The relay looks the same type as the front wiper one so I'm only assuming that. If you can find a good wiring diagram you may be able to work it out from that. Have you checked the wiring going to the motor, especially by the hinge to the body where it flexes?

[@MRDIY-RX8]

Hi, have you replaced the switches? these will where out over time. Investigate the wires going into the car by the A pillar behind the rubber bellows for chaffing etc on drivers side first then passenger. If nothing then take the door panels off and look at the connections/harness and examine and test the motor with power attached. If there is evidence of damp inside the door space then moisture will affect the connections corroding them. Make sure battery is fully charged with a good ground to body and all relevant fuses OK.

[@donpedro6239]

Problem with electric power steering. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have it too. I checked the fuses, the level in the pump and the plugs at the pump. In the morning it goes a little and there is no power steering, everything is still fine until the end of the day The computer did not show an error? Google suggests weak battery? I have good voltage, steering sensors? and the pump itself? Do you have a video about it? My Skoda has a low mileage of 120,000 km

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Have you tested the battery? Often you can have a good voltage, but a poor or failing battery. Test for cold cranking amps and compare with specs, diesels are more battery intense. You also need to check for leaks from the ends of the rack.

[@donpedro6239]

Good morning No leaks. Car has 100,000 miles, not too fast for such a failure? The electrician said it was not the battery. Today, after driving 25 km, there was no power steering for a while and everything worked fine? Thank you for the information, best regards. And since yesterday and today, the electric windows and locks are working properly! I didn't fix anything. Strange thing@@HatBoyHarvey

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If you find the electric windows start being temperamental at the same time as the power steering then that would indicate an electrical issue. These do suffer from intermittent electrical issues which are often to do with moisture on contacts somewhere. @120K I wouldn't expect the power steering pump to fail so if it's not leaking then I would look to an electrical issue :-)

Hello. I have a Fabia mk1, 1.2, and I have a problem with my all electric windows (4). It was happened when I wash my car. Can be the confort module or power motor at driver side? Thank you!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

It wont be the control unit under the dash. These cars suffer from water ingress at the end of the window seals that can upset any electrical connections inside the door space so I wouldn't jet wash the car. Also check the connections behind each rubber door gaiter and the wires for breaks and signs of fraying. It is best to check the drivers side motor connections first if you get to taking off the door panel.

[@andreiq.9560]

Thank you for your response. I disconnected the left engine plug and put it back and it works for a few minutes. the window on the right rises very hard. is the wiring connection faulty?

[@medzoPuh]

I remember watching this video when it came out wishing I would never have to deal with the cars electrics. Today my wipers stopped working on the lowest intermittent setting and they became very slow in every stalk position except the max(top) position, where they are super fast(as usual). The cause can't be the wiper transmission, because last month the wiper motor developed a constant grinding sound and also made wiper slow in every stalk position, which lead me to replace the motor myself, thanks to Harvey's other video, and I also made sure the transmission spins effortlessly. So with a new motor, working transmission, but slow wipers and partially broken intermittent setting I assume the relay is at fault, or could there be another cause? Higher resistance due to broken wire/connector? Or faulty wiper stalk?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Usually it is either the motor or the transmission. Maybe test what current you are getting at the motor with arms up to remove frictional resistance. Are you 100% the mechanism is as it should?

[@medzoPuh]

@@HatBoyHarvey How would you suggest I test the current? I do have a multimeter that I have never used before. I assumed one does that by getting access to the wiper motor and probing the connector, but you mentioned doing this with the motor working and blades up so there must be another way without disassembly?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

I can't remember if you can access the connector or not if not then take it out to do a back prob test.

[@medzoPuh]

@@HatBoyHarvey Hello again. Here are the results from my testing this weekend. First some nomenclature: Stalk position 0 is Off, position 1 intermittent, position 2 slow continuous wiping, position 3 fast continuous. Testing the motor disconnected from the wipers transmission - from position 0 to position 1&2 does not spin, then position 3 starts to spin fast and smoothly, then dropping down to stalk position 2 the motor slows down and starts to vibrate and micro stutter on its own. I couldn't do a back probe test because the connector is very well sealed so no pin can be inserted from the back, so I tested it disconnected from the motor for Voltage and resistance. 4 wires Ignition off, wire 3 has 8volts, rest are 0V Ignition on, wire 3 has 8.45V, rest 0V Stalk position 1, Wire 2 12V, Wire 3 8.45V, rest 0v Stalk position 2 same as 1 Stalk position 3, Wire 1 12V, wire 3 8.45V, rest 0V Resistance on wire 4: Stalk position off 0.24ohm Stalk position 1(all intermittent positions) and stalk position 2 0.31ohm, stalk position 3 0.38ohm The ohm values may be wrong because I couldn't figure out which setting to chose on my multimeter. Could not test the current because no idea how. The meter should be connected in series with the consumer, right. Thought about sticking the two multimeter probes inside the fuse slot, but decided against it. What I did is try the old broken wiper motor which didn't spin but immediately blew the fuse 20A on stalk position 2 so there must be enough current ..? Now I know for sure the problem is not the wiper transmission but either the motor or something with the electrical connection. The results from the multimeter testing don't say much to me, what about you?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

great,, now we can say there is supply voltage to all 3 positions and resistances are roughly all the same and low so I'm assuming no issue there. So, if the motor and mechanism are good you can suspect the voltage control unit with relay attached :-(. the relay can be replaced by de-soldering it and replacing with a new one, but is hard to do. Taking the board out and inspecting it there maybe some dry solder joints that may fix the issue (just a guess as I've had a similar issue on the dash cb) then replace the relay.

Skoda rapid model 2017 viper is not working so can you tell me some details please

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Sorry I don't cover that model. Have a look at the fuse no 8 under bonnet. Take the scuttle panel off and check/test the power going to the motor and rain sensor if it has one. Spray the wiper stalk at the base with electrical cleaner with battery disconnected.

Hi Harvey, I have a Skoda Fabia 1.4, 74kW, from 2001, model Elegance. Suddenly when running I heard a locking sound and my central locking system failed and I only can open the driver door and only by inserting the key into fhe lock. The remote unlocking doesn't work at all.All other doors remains locked. I checked the fuzes and are ok. I tried with the second key and the problem persist. Do you have any idea?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

First replace the key-fob bat, then I would look at the wires behind the rubber boot on the A pillar for fraying and fiddle with the connections, if no change it will most likely be the microswitch in the lock, but also check all the electrical connections with the inner panel off. Then you can have a go replacing the microswitch or the easier way is just replace the lock itself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZOWc2yVo7OhbMU

[@frosbergfrosty5446]

@@HatBoyHarvey Hi, I have replaced the lock itself the one containing the microchip. I have replaced the both keys batteries, and the problem persist. I have checked the cables coming from the door through the rubber to the A piller. They're ok.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

@@frosbergfrosty5446 OK, then I would have a look through the OBD2 port with vagcom to see what that comes up with.

Hi there, I have a skoda fabia 07 plate (2007-2014) 1.2 htp, I've looked and it has the brackets for fog lights, I'm trying to connect them, just wondering what I have to do to connect fog lights to the switch, I have got the front foglight logo on the headlight switch, I just haven't done this before so not sure what I need to do, the lights come with wires I'm just not familiar with where to connect them

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Have look to see if you can trace the wiring loom connector for the fog lights near the light cluster. if not www.ebay.co.uk/p/1276291527?iid=264992288333 may help. You may need it to be coded in/adapted also, but never done that, sorry. Also retrofitting it manually may be possible as you just need power feed to fuse to light switch to fogs to ground.

[@subshiftband7679]

@@HatBoyHarvey hi there, thanks for the reply they are a stock option on the car and it has got the switch for fog lights on the front along with the dash so they can be fitted I'm just not site where I plug them to the switch and power them as it isn't aftermarket all official skoda parts

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If the connector is at the fog light you're cooking with gas. Don't worry about the switch for now as it may just work as is. have you checked the fuses, you may have one that covers it.

[@subshiftband7679]

@@HatBoyHarvey fuse 37 is the rear fog lights DC DC, and fuse 38 says fog lights. So if I looked in my car should there be something coming of those fuses ? What would I have to look for, as my car has those fuses

[@rimmersbryggeri]

Do you know wether there is a stop/brake light relay somewhere all the other parts look intact in my circuit and the lights are still not coming on it looks like there sholuld be one on the wiring diagram. But I cant find it on the schematic for the realy box. no5 says unassigned in same.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Most brake light issues are related to the brake pedal switch and lamp holder contact faults. Also the cable to the high centre brake light can fraye by the hinge :-)

[@rimmersbryggeri]

@@HatBoyHarvey I know but I allready changed the brake light swtich and the fuses and the lamp holders are fine. Inspected all the bulbs and changed the brake and reverse bulbs today .This car seems to be older than yours though because the rear hatch furniture is different but it does have a LED high level light that clips in even though the parts catalog says it should have t10 bulbs. May be a retrofit.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

@@rimmersbryggeri If the led high level has ben put in after then I look there. What is the actual issue you are having?

[@rimmersbryggeri]

@@HatBoyHarvey None of the brake lights light up is the issue and since the bulbs fuses and switch are new theres only the (remote) switching apparatus that should be at fault. High level light seemed tol have been out before and had no gasket which I think seems odd. The combi was supposed to have the led light so that is right but still think there should be a gasket.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If all the obvious areas have been exhausted then you will need to go back to basics and start at the beginning with a voltmeter. It seems the control for the brakes goes through the electrical control unit under the right hand dash. You could trace wires back to there as there seems to be the blk/red wire going to a relay there from what I can see, but I've never had to do that so can only wish you luck. Let me know how you get on to be useful to others, thanks :-)
