Zagato

Thanks for the input everyone, Planning on getting the battery replaced because I realise it might have just reached the end of its life. The question on the seatbelt warning system was due to a fear this might be draining the battery and if not fixed will just drain the new battery once installed. Up until recently, if the driver or front passenger didn't use the seatbelt there was a warning light on the dash and a sound but after a recent holiday where the car was fully loaded one of the back seat passengers had dislodged a module from underneath the driver's seat and since then no sound is emitted when either the driver or passenger don't use the seatbelt although the module which has 2 connectors seem to still be connected. This was a few weeks ago and up until Monday of this week there were no battery issues when the dashboard displayed a warning to recharge the batter by driving and the car does a mix of short and long trips (on Sunday the car had done a 2hr round trip so would have expected the battery to be topped up and charged from this trip) Thanks for sharing the link for the manuals; I'm living in EU and the manual supplied with the car isn't in English so will read the English owners manual later

I have a fabia estate mk3 (2016) 1.2 (90hp) and recently am having battery issues which I hope someone can advise on. 2 days ago for the 1st time the dash gave an alert that the battery was low and to drive to charge up. Today the car won’t start because of dead battery. So understand the need to get new battery and perhaps it has just run out of life. one thing I’m thinking about is that recently I had a full car and one of the backseat passengers (behind driver) somehow dislodged what I believe to be the sensor for the seatbelt warning under the seat and since then although the light in the dash comes up to indicate occupant without seatbelt there is no sound. Everything looks connected (unit is just hanging under the seat) but I’m wondering if this could be causing the issue with the battery due to a constant drain. would appreciate advice and thoughts because don’t want to just replace the battery and then have the same issue because of a battery drain problem.
