If it’s a manual,from memory you remove the sleeve around the gear stick to get access to the wires at the base of the switch,remove them,and the switch can be pop out from below.The brass surface of the switch can then be checked. I just cleaned it with a dry cloth.

I had the door locking and unlocking as the vehicle was being driven along.Turned out before I bought it the previous owner had the inside steam cleaned and when they had been cleaning the carpet around the central console by the gear lever,moisture had got into the central locking button. When I took it out to examine it you could see the copper plates needed to be cleaned. Once that was done problem solved. May be the a similar thing with the light switch.

Auto electrician was a no show.. I had to buy a new charger suitable for “ Stop start” and have fully charged the battery after cleaning the terminals and making sure fuses were securely in place. Ran the car today…40 miles all good.Parked up and on starting about 2 hours later the warning sign and then engine management light came on. Waiting on a neighbour who is a mechanic to bring along his commercial diagnostic machine. Have to get it sorted as daughter just passed her test and don’t want to let her out in a car that has problems!!

Thanks for the advice..I’ll charge the battery up overnight after checking the terminals and connections. Interestingly it happened on starting up this morning but the management light went out after I started it later in the day..almost the reverse of what has been happening. Auto electrician is meant to come tomorrow 🤞

I'm having a problem with my Fabia Greenline 1.2 TDI 2014 Running well until the warning light (glow plug like) started to flash. Once the engine was turned off it stopped flashing when it was started up again. Plugged in my own Obd2 and pending code P0629 showed. I have noted that the warning will not show the first time the car is used every day, but once it is started up again after being turned off for around 45 minutes the light will come on. In the last couple of days a second code P0627 has been recorded on the OBD and a clicking noise can be heard from near the cabin fuse box,but this stops after the engine has run for around a minute. Last night after a trouble free run...2 hour park up....The warning light and buzzing noise (for around 1 minute) activated and then the engine management light on. Once home I plugged in the OBD and the fault code P0629 had gone from pending to active. Today again the car warning light and buzzing came on after starting up after an hour park up but the management light not active. I'm waiting on an auto electrician to attend but would be grateful for any assistance that can be supplied. The VIN number is TMBFK25JXF3038943 I looked for fuel relay switch,believing it was in the panel at the end of the dashboard but having taken the end panel off its not within sight/ reach.
