Sorry for duplicate post guys but there are more of you lovely Fabia drivers and *whispers* the cars are very, very similar inside.... 

 

Hi everyone,

 

It's been a while since I've popped in here and my Roomster seems to be having a nervous breakdown for the first time in 4 years.  

 

First the drivers side door doesn't know it's open so the light doesn't come on, no buzzer for lights left on and it can lock itself again, which I think is the door module unless anyone has any ideas. Skoda quoted £170 to replace this, but couldn't guarantee this was the problem. 

 

Then the fan heater decides to only work on 4, which I am assuming is the resistor pack. Had a look at the forum and this seems to be a "simplish" but fiddly fix. Especially as Skoda garage quoted £150 to fix it. Anyone got a step by step guide and a video? 

 

The only concern is both going at very similar times, probably just a coincidence but just checking! 

 

Cheers. 

Bari. 

 

Regarding the door light, first thing I would check is the door wiring, as it is quite common for wires to break in the loom at the door hinge. (In my case it was windows and mirrors) http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/380918-skoda-fabia-ii-broken-wires-in-hinge-loom-of-drivers-door/

As above. Wiring loom into the door is a common fault

They break near where the door hingesn do alsorts of funny stuff.

Cheers guys, I'll give that a go first. 

Woo Hoo! Checked wiring, one broken cable, spliced it back together and now I have a door sensor that works  

 

Thanks big time. Saved £170, well at least the investigation side of things
