My skoda Fabia Sport 2010 MKII has suddenly stopped the dipped headlights from coming on but high beam comes up ok with both the blue high beam icon and the dipped green icon coming on at the same time?

When put on dipped only, nothing is showing on the screen ( no blue or green headlamp icon)

Have plugged in a Hex V2 and on auto scan no faults have come up?

This is the single filament system with a metal shutter that should come down for the dipped position.

Never played with this nasty system before so has anybody got any ideas on what the problem is and where to locate the fault?

Was supposed to drive out tonight to pick up family but not with no dipped headlamps.

Have followed the wiring diagram having not found anything using Ross - Tech VCDS so went under dash below the steering wheel. A loose frayed wire on a connector was found connecting the light switch assembly directly to the headlamp relay. Once this wire was replaced the dipped green icon came on plus the H7 bulbs for dipped with the shutters operating then back to full beam for high when the shutters were raised for high beam bulb beam on either side. Still lousy light output and maybe in the future try to swop them out with something else as my motorcycle headlight out performs these monstrosities.

Problem solved after many hours of hunting as it was well hidden behind the fuse assembly. As time was critical had to have help with a technician of many years experience. Sometimes it is back to the old way of following cables with a wiring diagram. Job Done.

Thanks for all your help, son now back to his RAF base with working headlamps.
