Hello.

 

Octavia 1.9pd diesel 2005 Elegance.

 

My fusebox (by driver's door) seems to have a couple of fuses where they should be empty and no fuses where there perhaps should be some. I can't find a diagram which exactly matches my type of fusebox. 

Pic of my fusebox attached if anyone can help with the correct diagram or pic of where the fuses should be.

 

My dashboard doesn't light up at all after a flat battery, though now charged. Obviously I can't start the car. Other electrics (alarm, central locking etc) working.

 

Fuses may have been fiddled around with at the recovery garage or I may have mixed them myself. It may be a more serious electrical fault of course.

 

Any help appreciated. Had the Octavia for 6 years+/146k miles, was running well before.

Thanks

Thanks.

There 2 diagonally facing fuses on my car, are these just spares? They don't appear on the diagram

The only obvious missing fuse is slot 18.

 

If you look carefully, you'll see it's got contacts at both the top and bottom of that slot which suggests it's missing it's fuse

 

There are a few with contacts at just one end (ie: 7, 8, 9, 10) which is normal as there is a busbar running along the top. As it's just a single contact, there is no need for a fuse 👍

 

Quite a few of those look like replacement fuses so it might be worth checking each one in turn is still OK.
