Not sure I follow where you are looking for what. ”if” you have disconnected ANY of the seatbelt connections on the buckle then it is likely you have a latched airbag / SRS light and that will need a plug in to a diagnostic tool to reset / clear

It’s NOT a plug and play swap, the single H7 projectors use a shutter controlled by a relay within the headlamp for the main beam operation. There is also a difference in how the feed gets to the dash to illuminate the main beam indicator. for me, adjusting / setting the headlights at the highest setting possible on a beam setter (for MOT) and fitting a better bulb is an easier solution and does significantly improve the lights……….however if your determined on the “black” look, then you will be messing with wiring diagrams etc to get them to work correctly.

Rear Central Locking Wiring Schematic
UrbanPanzer replied to mattw86's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
100% there is connectors at the B pillars. Changed my rear door wiring looms when retro fitting rear electric windows. you need to remove the B pillar interior trim panels -
Cruise control fabia Monte Carlo tech
UrbanPanzer replied to Simon TDI Sport's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
On my vRS.........a rough guide... Fitting of new indicator stalk / switch (so steering wheel / airbag removal etc) Wiring to indicator stalk plug / connector Wiring to main fuse box / adding terminals / fuse Wiring to engine ECU connector / pin (on petrol, diesel "may" be different) this involves access to scuttle area where wiper motor is, so wipers off etc and drilling through into wiring connector on bulkhead. Replacing BCM (plug and play but access is fun) Configuring BCM with VCDS or similar capable tool If you buy a genuine VAG kit, it comes with destructions and is fairly easy to follow. Attached is the overview showing which part number kit you would need V spec of your car, do NOT be tempted to buy a cheap one which is not the exact number / kit you need. I got mine from Skoda dealer online at a good price, around £200, always worth asking for a bit of discount. Cruise_control_overview_2_2013_pdf.pdf -
Halfords battery, 4 year warranty, can't argue with that and "if" they do fail which is very rare, they swap them no questions asked. Halfords also supply Yuasa, those have a 5 year warranty.

Rear Central Locking Wiring Schematic
UrbanPanzer replied to mattw86's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
as a process of elimination, you would see 12v at one wire on the lock signal and the same on another wire. if there is no voltages at all, then it's either broken wires in the door loom to the B pillar and OR the lock motor is duff (most likely) -

check the door wiring loom under the grommet which goes between the door and the A pillar, possible broken wire / s in there.

Cable could be run through the main factory grommet / loom plate on the drivers side (UK CAR)....removing scuttle panel and wiper motor gives plenty of access. Images show where I added the cruise control loom. You can feel easily up above the pedals to this grommet and ensure the area is clear when you drill a hole, then you can come down the kick panel and along the sills under the trim, plenty of room under there for a battery cable. The most awkard bit would probably be up and over the rear seat hump, but once in the boot area, again loads of room.

Sounds like either a failing master cylinder OR a vacuum leak, be worth checking ALL rigid nylon vacuum pipes as they can split and intermittently leak particularly where they are pressed onto fittings / connections. Out of pure interest, why does your local "garage" not want to touch it anymore ? have they divulged into bacon butties instead !!

Side Mirrors, Electrical folding or not
UrbanPanzer replied to FuzzyBoi96's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
no folding mirrors on the Mk2 im afraid. -
Workshop procedure, not included wheel arch liner because it's self explanatory and if you cannot remove that, the wing should be left to someone who can.

LED NUMBER PLATE LIGHTS VRS 2013
UrbanPanzer replied to jake_d2024's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
don't worry, probably cheap bulbs from china Fleabay and they will go REALLY bright and flicker then fail within a few weeks anyway !!🤣 -
LED NUMBER PLATE LIGHTS VRS 2013
UrbanPanzer replied to jake_d2024's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
interesting...............care to share ? did it work........ For what it's worth, there "may" be a setting to turn off bulb failure warning (not 100% sure and have not checked yet) , but that would then disable all warnings, not just for these number plate lights "if" the setting exists. -
From standard halogen to bihalogen
UrbanPanzer replied to agbaehring's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
really ? or it's never worked...........Not a requirement in Denmark ? would have thought European approval was relevant.
