Daylight driving Light no longer working

Hi there!

I'm an owner of a Skoda Fabia II 2017, and suddenly the light no longer started automatically when starting the car - i.e the "daylight" mode does nothing, so I have to switch manually between on and off.

I an a newbie when it comes to car-fixing, but any pointers on what it could be or where I can start investigating? I have ordered a VCDL cable and it's on it's way.

-- update --

I was super unclear in that question I realize.

There is no "auto" or light sensor on my Fabia. What I mean is the "daylight driving lights (sidelights)". The second mode - between off and Low Beam Headlights.

Previously I always had it in this mode - when I switched off the engine and pulled the key - the lights would be "off", and when I turned it on - it would be "on" - meaning I never had to care about it - but now it does nothing at all - it's always off. So I have to manually switch between off and Low Beam Headlights (previously only used for night driving).

There is no fancy infotainment on this car. I’m simply talking about switch below. Dipped beam works. The one in between 0 and dipped (side lights) no longer works. There is nothing wrong with the bulbs - as they are part of the dipped beam. This mode (the one looking like a bra) simply does nothing right now. Previously it would behave like I previously described

It's super annoying since I tend to forget to turn it off - if it were for that annoying sound when you open the door - I'd drain the battery every time.

Any ideas where I can look?
