I have a 2002 Fabia Elegance 16V

I no longer get warning sounds from the dash - indicator ticktocks, warning sound when the door is opened, warning sound when the lights are left on etc., With the help of a friend who owns Ross-Tech kit, I ran some diagnostics and looks like my Instrument cluster is healthy (whew!) - report shown below.

Can someone tell me how to fix this? Is the warning buzzer also responsible for Indicator ticktock? Where is this buzzer located, if needs to be replaced? Please note that all the visual signs for indicator and door open warning light etc are working.

Many thanks,

Naga

Any help with this issue is highly appreciated.

Relevant post found here - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/56141-indicator-tick-tock-no-longer-working/

Just learnt that all the sounds in the car (tick-tocks, door open/lights on alarm) are made by a buzzer which is housed in the cluster. In my case, it stopped working. But one fine day, it decided to work. It worked for a month and stopped again. That tells me that the buzzer has a loose connection - a disconnected wire or a dry solder joint. If so, should be able to fix it without replacing the whole cluster which would cost around £400 + - which I don't think is worth spending on my 10 year old Fabia.

Can someone tell me where exactly this buzzer is so that I can examine the connectivity?

Many thanks.

You are right the buzzer is on the rear of the instrument cluster, and should be easy to replace. I believe all the clusters are basically the same so one off any Fabia should fit.

I'll see if I can post a picture up for you tonight.
