Help with Fabia vrs With some issues

Featured Replies

Hi folks i recently bought a vrs outve england brought to northern ireland i bought it with only thing wrong was a wing dent Came with plenty more than that ..

The car has heated seats which only the p/s works drivers does not anyone know why?

The drivers door dosnt lock or unlock nor do the front windows work.

With this the front fog lights do not turn on also 

 

Any help or advice will help millions thanks 

Drivers seat element is broken, you could try repairing it but it's probably not worth the agro.

Drivers door latch needs replacing or the wiring in the driver's door bellows is damaged.

Try turning the key in the driver's door lock and holding it clockwise, both front windows should open, turn and hold the key the other way and they should both close. If so replace the drivers side window switch. If not another wiring fault awaits.

Finally, the headlamp switch may be faulty but first examine the fog light bulbs for signs of failure, muppets tend to drive around with them on all the time and they overheat and blow.

The key in the door only unlocks and locks the drivers door no other door how would i go about repairing the driver seat element also

In that case there are broken wires in the driver's door bellows.

To repair the heated seat you must take it to pieces and replace the element under the cover of the seat squab.

Check the obvious fuses for the permanent 12V feeds to the window motors. Also the less obvious fuse 11, which is an ignition switched feed to driver's side one.

Ideally verify both of those feeds at the motor connectors on driver's side relative to the thick brown earth wire in the 8-way. Ignition switched one is a black/blue wire in the 6-way connector.

 

If that all checks out, which I expect it will, you need to replace or repair the driver's side window motor. Its faultiness is making both windows not work, and C/L not work via key in that door.

PM me for repair option if you wish.
