Uhh, thank you! Just struggled hardly at this switch. 😂
No worries :-)
No doubt about H ur simply the best! I dissembled the switch as you showed here, brilliant video, found molten plastic and brass tongs sunk into it & compromised contacts have cleaned up now they are 2 mm lower than the others, and reassembled, now going to reinstal to test as spares seem hard to find but I have to say you make fixing fun again like when I started on Triumph Vitesses back in the day watching my father rebuild straight sixes and fit them with large twin choke webber carbs. Showed dad your vids, he is a fan after two! You must be good he is a tough old cookie but at 86 he doesn't get under cars any more.He suggested I call myself cap boychris as I am always wearing one lol, UR the BeST!
Wow, thanks for the praise, almost fell off my chair, you are too kind. All I try to do is make videos with the viewer in mind as if they no nothing from the beginning as it is always the most simplistic things that stop people sometimes. If you know how to do something, others often don't and that is worth freely sharing :-)
Very impressive with all these details you never think about in daily life if it works ok and very helpful with your videos showing how to disconnect all these snap connectors, investigate and solve the problems if any.
Thanks, great to hear that my video is useful and can help others. These modern connections within parts are like mini-puzzles :-)
Great video. Like your methodical approach 😊
Thanks! 🙂
You've helped me again on this one. Mine was exactly the same had to get the dsh out, but mine was switch fault, I order one from Ebay replace it on my drive and my headkight back. Thanks.
You're very welcome, glad my videos helped you, be sure to search through my other Fabia videos for anything else you may sometimes has issues with :-)
As always nicely explained video. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks, glad you liked it :-)
I must say your videos are brilliant so useful and helpful. You’ve saved me a lot of head scratching so thank you for that keep them coming!
You are very welcome, thank you :-)
Yes. Once more, excellent work sir. Thank you.
Edit: Would you consider making a video about changing the windscreen wipers reservoir? Mine seems to be leaking lately.
Great suggestion, will do that one :-)
Odlican video i hvala na pomoci u rjesavanju istog problena
sjajno čuti to. Hrvatska mi se jako sviđa. Bio sam u sibenik, Spilt, Baska voda, Kortula i vodice :-)
Thank you for good work.👍👍👍
Welcome 👍
Very good job .I have had problem whith this switch the low beam light not working when turn the switch can this problem fixed ?
Thanks, I would test the low beam connection in the light units first then work back from there. If you know it is the actual switch then look for heat/mechanical damage on the contacts. I use emery paper to clean up the contacts and is fiddly, but it's cheaper than a new switch :-)
Both my front fogs are not working
Do you know what the "standard-screws" are, if i want to install fog lights?
Sorry, I'm not sure which screws you mean, lenses screws or bumper screws?
@@HatBoyHarvey Oh sorry, i meant the bumper screws.
T25 18mmx5mm
do you happen to know what leds they are in the printed circuit board ? as i’d quite like to change them
Sorry no, but you could test it with a multi meter with a diode setting
Do you know if any of the newer switch panels fit the fabia? Maybe off an A3 8p or Mk6 Golf for example
The older audi a3 ones look like they may fit, but I bet they don't. The panels the problem here as there are more options with the newer separate switches.
@@HatBoyHarvey as in 2004-12 A3? I may look into it but might look nicer with more modern switch
Trouble is the newer switch is bigger than the hole on the panel otherwise I would have done it as you can easily fit the auto-light function :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey ah I see yeh might be worth comparing measurements against some of the new looking ones. How would the autolight function be programmed in?
Have a look at this mod from a mk IV golf: czcams.com/video/pDdqV2YBQwk/video.html
So if this is the case, will I have to take the whole panel off to get it out or will I be able to remove it without taking the panel off? Thank you!
If it gets stuck you need to take the panel off or forward enough to push it from the back.
I have to switch my lights on and off until my dash lights come on. Is this likely a faulty headlight switch?
Not necessarily, but it does sound like that. It could be an earth or connection fault.. Check the main earth to the battery first then take the switch out and reconnect it. Do the same with the fuse. Fiddle/tap with the switch to see if that effects the lights coming on. If still no joy I would be inclined to think it is the switch and replace it, but I maybe wrong and something else is awry somewhere which would need further investigation. Sorry I can't be of any more help than that, but hope this helps :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey thank you very much for this advice. I'll try the things you have said. I hope I can buy a new switch, I don't want a used one that might do the same thing.
