Assuming you have door trim off and carrier removed to access the lock, there is no mention of the barrel.

This is in the Fabia section, you have an Octavia, although should be similar......

Check inside the door grommet / bellows between the door and A pillar, broken wires in there is a very common issue and causes all sorts of varying issues with windows and mirrors

Never have another skoda again......................because............... its suffering issues which ALL makes of cars have................

The correct screws are 5 x 22mm Part Number N 90739703 Available here as an example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA-Ameo-Beetle-Panel-Screw-5X22-x10-pcs-N90739703/133175331726?epid=1621371960&hash=item1f01de4b8e:g:WQ0AAOSwzZldgXwq

Have you closed up the car, locked, unlocked and re-tried lights ? Is the boot light working ?

I have often contemplated this one................you would def need the dash out to fit wiring and motors etc and thats "IF" the housing is the same, but without seeing them side by side, difficult to know the amount of work involved. As with anything its def possible, just depends on budget etc. On the flip side, the knobs work fine lol.........

If theres no code with it, then its probably stolen !!.............

Just take one out to check.

RNS315 with DAB for £100 !!! ................................

was a genuine part ? have the wiring checked

New electric steering pump / pack is my guess. Any lights on the dash ? Check fuse 16 in the interior fusebox (by drivers knee) Also check engine bay fuses, these are the big ones ontop of the battery, fuse 6 is for the steering pump / control unit, these can develop small cracks and break the current flow to the steering unit. You cannot replace them individually, it comes as a single part, but you can check visually and ideally with a meter that there is voltage either side of the fuse.

yes it pulls off, pull it at the top and bottom at the same time.

You dont "get into" the light cluster. you remove the whole lamp and then the bulb is accessible. Remove the end of the lower grille nearest the lamp itself, then put your hand in and you can feel the clip, push the clip towards the lamp and she will pop out, really is easy once you have done it. Just incase your book is different..............attached is instructions...

Normal depth 30mm Bi Hex socket works fine as well

seems a shot in the dark to me, know one could possibly know that. out of interest whats the mileage ?

I did not think it would be but YES !! its the same part !!

easy to fit, undo seat bolts, tilt the seat backwards onto rear seat being careful of seat belt tensioner loom, screw in new stowage, refit seat. I have one under both front seats.

Don't know about you guys, but once you have had a vehicle with a self dipping mirror you tend to miss it.......and it's always annoyed me the fabia don't have one, now there is one listed in the parts catolouge and I did think of gettting one of those, however I would not have had the loom in the vehicle, so would have had to purchase that + it most probably is quite expensive.............. If your not aware 99% of oem mirrors are made by Gentex, so bought one of those and a simple 2 wire installation and its all done, looks completely factory, you have to also buy the adpater to fit the VAG screen mirror mount and I wanted to hide the wire so bought the loom cover to.......................very pleased 😁 total about £90 ish... The thing I do like is it has a button to turn itoff if you so desire.
