Did you measure these voltages with the ignition on? Did you remove the fuel pump fuse before you measured the voltage?

Key in Ignition in ON position. I measured at the fuse with a voltmeter. One was connected to batter ground and other to fuse head. I did not remove the fuse will do so and measure. Did remove some fuses randomly to check voltages and saw no difference but not this one specifically. Will measure and revert.

  • Did you flush out the fuel system and refill it with fresh fuel?

    Lack of rpm indication suggests an electrical problem. Check all fuses for corrosion, one by one.

    Two people, each with block of wood and hammer; opposite sides of ring, co-ordinate timing to hit at same time.

Yes Key in ON position. Did not remove that exact fuse but did remove some to test. I lead was connected to battery ground and then used the fuse top exposed end to measure the voltage. 

The reading a noted in the diagram posted above. Will remove the fuse and check again.

Also, forgot to mention, the central locking and unlocking started randomly. Had to disconnect the battery to make it stop. Perhaps a contact is not proper somewhere.

Can someone indicate where are the Relays located in the MK2 model. Not able to clear information from the web. Thanks

Hope you guys had a look and can revert.

I suppose flying blind is the next stage. Will keep updating as I progress.

Relays are further inboard. You have to take off the lower dashboard trim beneath the steering wheel to see, I think.

There's a guide for another job on a Mk1 that includes instructions for removing that trim panel, here. not sure how similar it is on a mk2: 

 

 

You'll see the relay panel once that trim is removed.

I've found youtube videos for mk3 Fabia 

 

And Mk1:

 

But not Mk2, yet. when you find them, please post photos and instructions of how to see/access.

Much appreciate your help. Will explore and post here the findings.

Back to base and started working on the car. Supplied direct 12v to the fuel pump and it worked. Used connectors and insulation tape and a long wire to mitigate any spark situation. Will share images of the contraption.

I suppose the relay is the issue. 

The left door is jammed and I believe the relays are to be accessed only after the door opens.

Currently dismantling thendoor pad from inside to access the lock mechanism. Will spray some wd40 for it to ease. Any idea how to disengage the wire to the inside pull lever. I am worried about tugging the wrong chord.

I think relays will be on same side of car as steering wheel.

They aren't to my surprise. I opened that side and got nothing. Will post an image of the same. This adds to the frustration as my door is jammed and nowmhave tomfixnthat tomget to the relays. Any tricks on hoe to release the cable for the lock

When you say you opened that side, what did you open, exactly?

Relay panel is probably somewhere under steering wheel, behind fusebox.

Oh is it. I saw a video in which it was behind the half round panel which meets the door when shut. Do you have a reference image of where this could be. Dismantling the fuse unit is a big task and would want to venture there if certain about the location.

The issue I have is that there is no voltage in the fuel pump connector. Have checked fuses. In mk2 fabia 2hich fuses are related to the fuel line. I have conflicting numbers. Even if you indicate fuse rating I can check for those.

  • Sponsor

I'm not sure.

Someone reading this who owns a mk2 Fabia can surely tell us where the relays are??

I've tried searching the web with no success, surprisingly.

Did you tell me VIN info already? If I have that I can find fuse info for you.

Your logic is correct though as the design layout of Fabia is relay in close proximity to fuse. Will work on this and report. Thanks

Strange indeed. I suppose it never failed in any mk2  😀

Scroll to page 136. I think this is what you are looking for.

Thank you so much. Will verify this with the setup I have.

This may be the same info, shows relays at position 3 in diagram.

That's a left hand drive car. I would expect everything to be mirrored for right hand drive. 

Give me a moment .....
