Fabia problems, passenger window and strange light

Featured Replies

Hi there :)

Apologies that my first post here is a problem! I recently became the owner of a Skoda Fabia I 2002 plate. Love the car, but since I've bought it, it's had a small problem that's been bugging me. The front passenger window is operable both up and down from the drivers side control but the one on the passenger door doesn't work. I assumed the switch was dodgy but after using the one from the rear passenger window that I know works, it still wouldn't work. After this I checked the fuse and that was fine. Could this be a wiring issue or does anybody have any other ideas?

So the front switch itself is fine as it works in the rear passenger window. Using a multimeter I determined that there is definitely power going to the connector in the front passenger door and the window definitely works as it can be controlled from the drivers side. I cannot fathom why the window cannot be operated from the passenger.. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

As well as this I also found a strange light under the dash that is always one when the key is in the car, it is located under the center console and behind the gear stick. There is no mention of it in the manual and a large crack in the plastic it's installed into which makes me think it might have been added by a previous user.. but why? Can't find anything on Google but I don't know what I'm searching for..

Thanks in advance!

Looks as if some one has installed the light so you can see into the tray in front of the gear stick, get a white led bulb in it and it will look good

Sounds as if you have a wiring fault associated with that door..open the door and check for broken wires in the rubber boot between the two door hinges.
