Hi



As explained in the title, I have caused myself some issues whilst attempting to fit an aftermarket auto headlights kit.


Tried posting this on the Skoda specific forum but have had no replies.


I have investigated to the limits of my knowledge. I was hoping someone could advise on how to repair.



Fabia VRS 2011. Old style "big" 17 pin light switch.



Fitted auto headlight box + switch and the following happened:



Dipped headlights permanently on. No control from switch.

Rear lights permanently on. No control from switch.

Speedo and Rev counter illumination does not light.

Dash "Dipped lights" tell tale light on.





Realising there was a problem, I removed the box and refitted original switch:



Dipped headlights permanently off. No control from switch.

Rear lights permanently off. No control from switch.

Speedo and Rev counter illumination still does not light.

Dash "Dipped lights" tell tale light off.





I can go between these 2 states by swapping components back and forth.

All fuses look OK but if any can suggest specific one to check, I can double check

Main beam/flash works as normal in either state.



My assumption is that I have cooked the BCM / Headlight control module. Any advice would be much appreciated.



Thanks



Ben

Ignore the CAN error, it is picking up a CAN nav system that isn’t registered or compatible. There are no errors in the J519 so it isn’t apparent what is wrong but the low voltage errors could be responsible.

this car doesn't have a headlight module so you're in luck there. your bcm also doesn't operate the dipped headlights, so thats lucky as well, that one isn't broken.
i'm not sure what is though...

As explained in the title, I have caused myself some issues whilst attempting to fit an aftermarket auto headlights kit.
Click to expand...
Did this kit have some sort of dongle that you plugged into the diagnostic port (DLC) ? What kit is this?

Thanks everyone for the information. This has not been my best work :facepalm:

Looks like I ordered an auto headlight kit for a VW T5, which is the reason for the problem. Same plug, different pins.

After the information offered above, I started again from the beginning with assistance from a friend. Turns out it was a blown fuse after all.

On a Fabia VRS 2011 dipped headlights/tail lights are on Fuse 35 "Power supply of ignition switch" 5A according to the owners manual. The icon on the fuse panel is a book with a question mark.
