Lovely colour!

Things sometimes are worst here, young people often are using foreign language (although it's absolutely unnecessary) mixed with slang words or "englishnika" (spool-arei, promot-arei, spam-aro, facebook-izo, Instagram-aro etc) and abbreviations (Imo, Imho, btw, wtf, afaic, omg etc) with often adding multiple times the "bro" word. The whole situation is ridiculous, they are not in a ghetto but what to expect from people which consider the trap as "music" and the trappers as "artists" ?

@nta16 after so many years some things are unreversable in my car.

@Papez Many years back two CZ guys visited us in work, i said to them about Ceska Zbrojovka pistols and when i said that i have a Skoda they pronounce it as ''Sko-die". Same happens here in GR with the ''th'' (as Tha-lassa=sea) with Bulgarians, Americans, they pronounce it as ''Talassa", also the δ and the ντ here from them is always a ''d''. On the contrary here we don't pronounce it as ''Ghi-cago'' as they do but as ''Sicago'', we say about ''Bo-dy" but the Americans pronounce it as ''Ba-de".

With a tester, one end in the ground and the one in the contact. I show him the diagram with the switch and said he can not do anything more from there (the plug), searched the cables toward the cabin and his final decision was ''from the relay'' or nothing. I didn't want to ''push'' him more, he didn't charge me anything for the whole work. If i put the 5 pin switch i have to cut a plastic to fit it, if the 2 buttons can do the job it's far more easy.

So there are two solutions, 1st to abandon the project and 2nd to remove the panel by my self and he will do the work on the relay. Here is a picture as i found it in internet, the 5 pin switch is better of two separate buttons (as commands Lock-Unlock) ?

Update: I went to the repair shop with the panel removed, i show to the electrician the plug plus the diagrams and directions. One touch in the yellow wire lock, one touch unlock, again and the result was the same, i was ready to smile but suddenly one touch and just a click again and click, touch for 3rd time and lock. Touch and click, again and unlock etc, the electrician stopped and said it's not safe to proceed otherwise will going to burn the relay. I gave him a new layer of nylon to install on the door, put the panel back and ''Game Over".

''Sch-koda Fav-ou-rite". 😃

I have printed the last photo and all the comments (directions) to give them to electrician. I hope this will work tomorrow morning.

The 4rth pin must be empty? OK, i will go earlier to our appointment tomorrow so there will be time, if the first plan fails then i will remove it and he will do the second plan.

Any place of the car body can be used as a Ground, find one which already has a screw on it. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WfK--D51DxY/VRP4ucdZIgI/AAAAAAAAB3w/M3TT0FBiMag/s1600/Εικόνα34.jpg https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G5-FQV0Heg0/XqRDwT5V9aI/AAAAAAAAArU/K6LO2f-0or0ds2Ru1quorTBnUZdpBeNOQCEwYBhgL/s400/Picture1.png https://tosynergeio.gr/images/stories/1084/thermostatis.jpg Few examples, not from Felicia.

The 4th pin must stay empty as is? I have printed in A3 size the diagrams, both Cz and Eng, i have printed all the photos and the comment in Eng plus translated in Romanian (the electrician is from Moldavia), i have show him the relay and relative comment. The answer was ''i have to remove the dashboard, i don't have much time for this but even if i do it i can not guarantee to you that i can manage to work". So come to my position for a minute, what could i say to him that is useless or lazy? I can not force him, i have to compromise. When i asked for an insulation 23 years back the answer was this, carpet with petrol glue (beznina glue is called here) and black spay. No ebay or Aliexpress, no insulation sheets that you can by today and guess what, i was the only Felicia driver of that time that asked for this, even when i go to an upholstery shop for leather in my door panels no one was accepted to work with my car ''because i don't know it" was the answer. Thankfully i found one far away from home and he did it although not perfect work. If he can not read the original VW diagrams is my fault or his? Sadly but i have to repeat myself, every time i say ''i have a Skoda Felicia and i want to...' the answer is 99,9 % negative no matter if i want to put an extra Led Fog lights or Oh yeah? Make today a test, telephone to 4 electricians that you have the factory Skoda TC-6 on your hand plus completely directions-diagrams etc and tell me how many will say ''yes, i can do it, bring it" 99.9% will say ''it's an old car, i do not undertake this work" etc, i know it by first hand.

Here is the plug beside the door panel and the yellow wire. Take a look of what ''noise insulation" was before 23 years, no ebay or aliexpress. Tar paper and tar spray (which means extra weight), i also found a broken clip but thankfully i have bought some extra.

I have visited so far 3 electricians, the 1st said that there is no guarantee that he will manage to do it work plus it will take much time for him, i couldn't argue with that guy and say to him ''oh here is the diagram,read and follow it'' because here when the mechanics hear about Felicia they say ''Oh it's an old car, i don't mess with it''. No Official Dealer or any othe ''famous'' Skoda mechanic here will accept to work with Felicia, IF you lucky to find an older mechanic which has the willing to help you then OK otherwise ''you are done''. Remember with the Flip Key what happened? Two locksmiths said ''No''. I am lucky that after asking (again) the 1st will find time to work with the ''Yellow cable solution'' and let's pray that he can do his magic. For you or some other Skoda mechanic following the diagram it's an easy task and can be done BUT when the only electrician says that need too much time, it would be very costlty and can not guarantee the result what's my options? What i can say to him? The second electrican opened the panel, search etc and then said ''No more'', i couldn't do anything, i lower my head and left the repair-shop. The 3rd said ''No'' only when i explain to him what i wanted, what could i say to him that it's an incompetent? On the other hand maybe i am the only Felicia owner who want to this, i can't follow the steps of another guy so ''i am walking in the dark'', i have no oprions and when they tell me multpiple times ''No'' then i just compromise. PS: the next ''nightmare'' is buckets seats, i bet that (as in the past) the majority will say ''No'' so i would be extremely lucky IF i find someone who wants to take over.

One pin is no use? I won't blame you for anything. This means extra cost from the electrician and still no guarantee that it works, if not, then extra time to put back the dashboard and of course there would be no discound. I am not a stubborn guy, the first electrician warned me from the beginning: "i need too much time and i can not guarantee to you that will work". With the second way i will save money plus if the electrician won't manage to make it work then "no big deal", the panel goes back and "good bye".

Sorry but i can not do it by myself, i had to provide the guy a diagram or a photo like above to work otherwise he will abandon the try like the previous electrician. I saw the Blue arrow and the ''central lock actuator'' and i thought that this was the way to do it.

The Green arrow (1st pin) is for?

Yes but sadly

I will ''copy-paste'' this to the new electrician. Is this correct? I don't know, had in his computer the diagrams from other Skoda models but not mine, i gave them the diagrams translated plus directions for the 5-pin switch but he couldn't do nothing. I lost time with that idiot.

I was thinking about this https://www.ieasyguard.com/product/push-start-button-keyless-go-system/ but when i read this EasyGuard reviews i start hesitate.

Yellow wire in the plug behind the driver's panel, unplug, hold the female part and one touch lock, another touch unlock, multiple times checked. I thought that this (simple) solution was found and no dashboard removal etc but then the electrician followed the cables to the left column, touches it and said no response from that yellow cable, he can not do anything etc. I visited another electrician, explain him the situation and said maybe a diode can solve this but i still wonder, why?

Unfortunately 2 electricians said ''No" (i can't do it or i don't know) but a 3rd said bring it to make a check. he said he knowe Fabia,Octavia but not Felicia. i gave him the diagrams that @Papez suggested me and he said he can not read them, i told him that the relay is in the back of the dashboard and i don't want to remove it and i suggest him to remove the door panel and work inside. He found the plug, when you remove it and with a tester (the other side connected to the ground) when you touch the Yellow wire the car locks the doors, touch it again and unlocks. I said inside of me ''We found it!" and i thought that with a button with parallel cable and a ground will work but when he put the plug back and try to ''steal'' a signal from the back side then did not work. I am very-very disappointed, why the system does not allow the lock-unlock procedure to work parallelly? WHY?

The Kill Switch will cut the power to the solenoid only, tha car won't be able to start.

Let's say that accidentaly while i am one the move (e.g. a travel) i push the button from the remote control and the Kill Switch cuts the power to the solenoid. While the engine is running is there would be a problem? There would be an indication (light) in the gauge cluster or not?

The black existing cable it's ready with its own receiver and as is goes to the module. That module on the other side has its own "blade" which can be screwed on the solenoid. No need for extra cable.
