Hi Pete. Yes I've seen the videos. Just waiting for a break in the weather to attack the passenger door. Had the driver's door apart recently to fit one of your fixed window control modules. Windows still operating OK.

I tried again last night, but this time I waited for the interior lights to go out after each door was opened/closed. Found the front passenger door doesn't operate the interior or puddle lights when opened. All other doors, including the boot do. So I will check the wires in the front passenger door and if OK, I guess its the door lock microswitch?

Yes. I think it does for all 4 doors

Hi all. 2007 Fabia Mk1. 4 door. Car has started locking itself after I have unlocked it with the fob. It is not the usual 30 second lock if no doors are opened. I can unlock, then open the drivers door. Interior lights come on and puddle light in door. Then the locks try and lock again. When it does lock, it doesn't light the driver's door LED. So it the same effect as if you press the lock/unlock button on the drivers door. Happens when engine is running and when not. I had the VCDS on it and it came back with the following fault: Address 09: Cent Elect. ... Fault Found: 01598 - Drive Battery voltage 07-10 - Signal too low - Intermittent Searching the forums has led me to a ground wire on the battery negative. Some people say this is a sensing wire for the convenience unit. Wire looks in good condition. Others say battery voltage may be too low. Get over 14V when running. Any ideas before I start looking for broken wires in the doors?

I sent my window controller off to BreezyPete on an exchange basis. His repaired one had my windows working again. I had my deposit paid to my account a few days after sending him my unit. Many thanks Pete.

Thanks for the response. Wouldn't the auxiliary pump failure be picked by VCDS?

Had a thought. What if the LIN isn't working as it should, but the activity is enough for the passenger door module to allow local control. The LIN is normally 12V, but does go low. The messages from the master in driver's door probably tell the slave to go up or down. But if the LIN is corrupted the slave would ignore.

Thanks Pete. Will do a bit more experimenting here first

Agreed.

Portsmouth. Petty sure before I reflowed the PCB, neither door worked off their own switches. Only the passenger door would work for a short time after reconnecting battery. Now LIN is working and passenger window works indefinitely from it's switch. 2007 MK1 Fabia

Fuse 11 ok. Bit of a problem with door lock. Not able to turn lock with key. Seems to be locked up. Previous owner used fob to lock. Tried to get lock out to soak in wd40 but lock is also stuck. Left lock soaking. So do you think convenience module could be involved?

The passenger side has not been disconnected. Prior to me reflowing the drivers PCB, the passenger window only operated for a while after the battery was reconnected. Now the LIN is working, the passenger side works from it's switch indefinitely. Just no operation on driver's side.

Isn't the fact that the LIN is working a sign that the (possible) dry joint on the resonator is fixed? Not trying to tell you, I know you have spent many hours investigating these issues. I am just interested. Replacing the surface mount resonator is beyond my soldering skills, the capacitor was hard enough! It appears the LIN now gets to the passenger door to allow local control of the passenger window. I assume the resonator produces a clock to the microcontroller. What other signs of poor resonator can I check for?
