Weird electrical problems

Featured Replies

Hi!

 

My Skoda 2008 Hatchback started acting very strange after having it on a regular service.

 

* The "you forgot to turn off your light" - alarm when you open the door stopped sounding

* The trunk lid is now always locked - and I have to unlock it with my remote-key to be able to open it

* The time it takes for the car to turn off the lights / lock the door (after you've unlocked it and sit in your car) has been reduced significantly

 

I ran a scan with ODB11 but found no issues. Perhaps I should try with my VCDS, as ODB11 is a bit funky with this car.

 

Anyway - the car mechanic doing the service, refuses to accept that they've caused any of this.

 

Any ideas of what could've happened - and what can I do about it?

 

Cheers!

On a mk2 Fabia, I would be checking for broken wires in the rubber boot that contains wiring going into the driver's door.
