Hi guys. I read a couple of forum posts about owners who have had problems with their light switch ( rotary,rhs) which seems to cease working leaving the dipped beam on whilst the ignition is on but when turned has no effect on selection and indeed the fog lights cannot be selected. High beem works fine and rear lights including brake lights appear unaffected. Did anyone else manage to get a solution ? Thanks in advance folks 😊 

Hi welcome.  You'd have to check of course but it sounds like you might just need a replacement light switch.

 

You'd probably be better looking in and/or asking in the 'Škoda Yeti' forum on Briskoda. - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/170-škoda-yeti/

 

HTH.

 

I found the culprit ...a 10A FUSE !!

 

After scouring numerous forums I eventually decided to check every fuse on the car until I eventually got to the one I have circled ....and it was blown.

I replaced it and hey presto....everything is back as it should be 😀

 

Just to recap. Dipped beam lights remained on when ignition was on, irrespective of switch position ( i actually removed the switch and lights remained on!). Rear fog lights not working and neither was the removable rechargeable torch in the boot. 

 

Hope this helps someone else faced with the same issue.

 

Best wishes folks 👍 😀

 

Thanks for reporting back.

 

Very strange. I assume the 10A fuse looked factory original and correct amperage and fuse location.  Wiring can do funny stuff especially with all these computer bits involved but that does sound odd.  Wonder what caused the fuse to 'blow' in the first place.

 

If everything works and remains working including replacement fuse then I'd personally not care and be happy it's sorted

 

Well done.

 

Thanks 😉😊. Yes it appeared to be a factory fitted fuse. I was wondering ,as the removable torch was on the same circuit, and the batteries utterly flat, could they have been drawing a large amount of current causing the fuse to go? 

 

Will let you know of any further " twists" 😁😆

If the removable torch (and boot light?) are on same circuit and the supply fuse had blown then the batteries would be flat but charging from flat wouldn't be the cause of the blown fuse, at least not in itself..  With the fused replaced the torch batteries might pick up again given a chance.  I'd check the contacts are clean on torch and its charging socket.  If the torch doesn't pick up again I assume you can just replace the chargeable batteries, been over 30 years since my wife had that feature on her Favorit.

 

Was you able to plug in an VW appropriate scan tool with the program for your model fully up to date to see if any error codes were stored or live data or actuation tests?
