Anyone on the forum experienced this intermittent fault. Car unlocks normally, start up drive off and find that the red led light is on permanently when driving. If I stop get out of car set alarm- light flashes as it should here, then unset, get in and start up again the light is out.Is there a fault somewhere or is it driver error? Looking forward to reading replies. The car is still under the Skoda one year used car warranty so would make a claim if necessary.

You mean the red marker light on the door itself?

If so, could be a faulty micro switch in the door latch assembly.....they are known to be troublesome. Although I would expect other issues too.........door open warning on the dash and alarm problems.

Another possibility is faulty wiring in the flexi loom between the door and the 'A' pillar.

I think he means the red LED alarm light on the top edge of the inner door skin. Should flash when alarm is set and be off when driving. I would say the alarm module is probably faulty.

sorry, yes its the red LED alarm light on the top edge of the inner door skin

The other day I noticed when locking it blinked about 8 times quickly and then stayed on permanently. I had been d1cking about with the sunroof unit and sunglasses holder so got in and had a look and hadn't connected the internal sensor in the back of the sunglasses holder, so it might be worth having a look there.

Mine doesn't come on at all

Could just be a blown LED, does your alarm still work OK?

Haven't tried it. It opens and locks doors.

mine is off when i start the engine and comes on when the car autolocks over 7/8 mph, it stays on untill i take the key out and the doors autounlock then it go's off
