I just had the same problem happening to me, but I see the photos are not available anymore 😞 Does anybody here have photos I could use as a guide? Thank you!

Thanks, langers2k. The guide is really interesting but I think my problem goes beyond the instrument cluster since the lights for the locks and power window controls on the doors (both sides) also flicker (or sometimes do not turn on at all) whereas other lights, like the headlights and interior ceiling lights work as normal. The only pattern I see here is that the lights that work as normal (the headlights and the interior ceiling lights) all have their own "switches" whereas the ones that are flickering are controlled by the me turning the key. I hope that makes sense. Any clue from anyone is appreciated.

Thanks langers2k! I will look into that. I actually have (don't laugh!) an old Skoda Octavia from 2004 so I think that's the MKI. Not sure if the guide will apply but go through it anyway. Thanks!

skinnyb - did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem (interior lights on dash flickering but headlights, radio, etc. doing just fine). Same as you, I see people with this problem but no one ever explains how or if they solved it :( Thanks!

Lee, did you ever figure this out? I have an old Skoda Octavia that is showing the flickering lights but only on the dashboard. Headlights + radio, etc. work just fine. With little experience in this, I am not sure if it is the alternator (but then, even the headlights would be failing, right?) or some fuse. I saw Wilson323f said the "smds", what is that? Thanks!
