Today I found that I have the exact same malfunction with this switch and I was thinking to take it out and clean its contacts.But after watching the video and learned it's price from you I ll just buy a new one.Thanks once again for the useful info about repairing a Skoda Fabia.
Watch out for the led colour as mine turned out to be red not green soworth a check first :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Hey mate I just finished placing the new switch.Just took me 13 minutes for the replacement, including nighttime conditions and the use of the flashlight of my phone.I was lucky and the led colour is green.
Also I found out that the previous owner had broken the safety clip so the cover just popped out when I pushed the cover up.
Cost of the switch 10.50€.
I took a photo of new one but I can't post it here.
Thanks again for your helpful videos
Thanks , have ordered a ebay replacement, will swap it out and go from there , cheers
Thank you ever so much my friend for your kindness, I just fixed my skoda,s driver side switch as I followed your instructions.
You saved me more than few quid.I just subscribed looking forward to see your other videos.many thanks
Thank you, that is great to hear. wish you all the best in future fabia fixes :-)
Very good! Right dissasembly!
Thanks :-)
Thanks, great. I have that intermittent fault, especially when it's hot.
This does appear so :-/
Awesome, thanks mate, brilliant video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :-)
Hi HatBoy Harvey, your videos really help out so thanks for doing them - quick question, I need to replace the switches soon and you mentioned the connector is glued in initially? How do you disconnect if glued? Sorry if that’s a stupid question. Also, is there any need to disconnect the negative battery terminal before doing the swap or is this not necessary? Cheers.
It's always good practice to take the negative lead off the battery first whilst working on any electrical components as some can throw up fault codes that include a dash warning light that will need clearing, but I have removed mine without issue. The glue won't be an issue, just poll apart.
@@HatBoyHarvey That’s great - thanks for the quick reply 👍🏻😀
thank youuu very much!!
You're welcome :-)

Thanks for a great channel and helpful videos.
My windows on my Skoda Fabia (2006) just suddenly stopped working (both sides, and passenger switch does not work either). Fuses OK, cables seems OK and power gets through, electric mirror works and locking/opening works.
Do you believe a broken window switch could cause this (like the ones you changed in this video)? The thing is that the passenger switch doesnt work either....
Or is it more likely some kind of faulty control unit?
The control for all the windows goes through the drivers side, so this needs to work first before suspecting other individual windows. I've done various videos covering the areas to look at, sadly not a video combining them all, (I should do one) first check the wires behind the A pillar rubber gator for chafing/ breaks and then the A pillar connections themselves (doing this live often finds a fault). Then look at replacing the switch as this can malfunction with wear on the toggle switch. Check the connections going into the control unit/motor on drivers side - look for bent pins, loose contacts or broken contact corrosion.
Thank you so much!!! I'll continue investigate as advised. And once again thanks for awesome videos!! Keep em coming 👍👍🙏
Thanks, exactly what I needed!
You're very welcome :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey Have just this minute come in from doing the repair - no effort, thank you for making it easy!
👍
Hi Harvey, I replaced the switch and I’m still having an issue with the passenger side window not working from the drivers side switch - any ideas? Cheers.
have a look at the cable inside the A pillar rubber bellows on each side + the connections. Then look at the main connection in the drivers side door (unplug- replug) see what happens, if nothing then look at passenger side also.
Hi Harvey, both my front drivers side and passenger electric window work intermittently, usually only during the summer in hot weather randomly. I unplugged and then replugged the top connection in the drivers side A pillar and I was able to open and close the window and then it would not work again. Can you advise me what the issue might be and how to fix this? Love your videos, they’re a great help!!
Sounds like you found the issue with connector and it's circuit. Trace that circuit, test for continuity if you can. Your looking for either a wire break or a loose connector. You can reattach the battery and test for loose intermittent connections and even wires just by wiggling stuff about whilst activating the windows. Wires behind the bellows is a common place they get frayed and break, but a break may occur somewhere else, just got to find it. The switches can also fail from wear. My switch connector did work loose, but I fixed that.
Thnx mate, worked for me. Special thnx with vire hint. That helped a lot.
You're very welcome, glad to have helped :-)
Thank you very much! That is all I need to know 👌
Happy to help :-)
is it anyhow possible which cable goes to which pin? former owner of my fabia changed the socket an all cables are connected to only one button currently. i bought the oem switch but i can't replace it because of that. any idea what should i do?
IMHO you best bet would be to go to a scrap yard and cut off a connector with cables attached from a similar fabia then you have, in effect a pre-wired connector.
@@HatBoyHarvey yeah probably i'll try something like that
Hi HatBoyHarvey.
I have just replaced my window regulator on my skoda fabia mk1 but before when I pressed the switch once it would automatically go down and the same when pulling the switch up.
Now that function seems to have gone ( same for passenger side ) , I made sure the window was well seated into the two clasps and didn't tighten fully until it was running up and down freely.
Any ideas what the problem could be is there a way to reset the limits on motor?
Cheers
hold the switch fully up position for a further 3-5 seconds to activate the override one touch function.
Hello and congratulations on your great videos, they have been very usefull and you have earned my like and subscribe.
My issue is: sometimes i press down and it goes up a centimeter.
And if i one touch to go up, it goes up closes and opens by itself half way. Could it be these switches or something else?
The connection to the switch aren't the best neither the cables into the door behind the rubber bellows on the A pillar, yes the switches wear out and can do erratic things. The motor can be faulty also, but first try: the window glass can get sticky so a bit of silicon spray helps here fully pull glass up and then down lubing the rubber. Finally do the reset functions fully up 3 seconds fully down 3 seconds and see what happens.
Hi all, I’ve just tried to swap out the window switches on my 2005 Skoda Fabia VRS and it transpires the switches on my car are not attached to the housing via small Phillips screws but are welded in which is really annoying - thanks Skoda!! So if you want to replace yours, you may find you need to bear this in mind. Anyway, it transpires my problem is not the switches as I connected the new switches to the wiring and the central locking works but still nothing from both windows. What’s weird is the passenger window works with the passenger door window switch and so I assumed it probably needed the switches on the drivers door to be replaced. Back to the drawing board - or a garage if I can’t work it out. Any other suggestions welcome. 😀
Check the wires and connections behind the rubber bellows on the A pillar for chafing, these often cause this problem. The switches will detach, just need a bit of persuading :-) If no luck with the pillar wires/connections then it could be the motor unit connections or motor itself. Keep working on it logically as you are and I'm sure you will find something, good luck :-)
Thank you, problem solved.
You're very welcome :-)
Sir please make and video of how to to open petrol fuel door without remote
Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into this.
Number of pins, it’s important?
I don't know if your model has redundant pins, but all need to be intact and not bent etc to work properly
Thanks for the great video my friend.on my 2004 vrs has this problem but when I unplug the bright pink block connectors on the driver side motor and place back in my window work a few times then won't work again 😒 is this the window motor that needs to be replaced,,!!!? If eny one can help will be much appreciated
Have you replaced the switch/check the switch plug again, then try the motor module plug again. If you're sure these are OK have a look at the wiring at the A pillar/door connection for signs of breaks/fraying. You could also test the motor independently to see if it works or not.
I have same problem. did you get fixed?
@@enzoman444
not yet think it's the micro switch in door motor £193.00p from
scoda second hand 60-100 ish all numbers.
have to match pain in the you know wot
@@paulandrews3785 you mean the module on the motor? I just ordered one on eBay for 113 euro to see if that fixes it not a perfectly good cars being scrapped
@@paulandrews3785 I put replacement motor in and seems to be ok
Thx much!
Your very welcome :-)
With my VRs, the drivers side switch was intermittent and then one day they both stopped working. Do you think replacing the drivers side switch will fix this issue? many thanks :)
The wires inside the rubber bellows on the A pillar hinge can fray and cause faults, so worth a check before purchasing new switches. Also at the same time check the connections, waggling them may start the windows working again. Disconnect battery and they clip in/out.
Hello sir can you please make a video of Skoda Laura car how to repair the window controller
Thank you for the suggestions. Before changing the convenience unit have a look at the cables going into the doors which break over a long time/use causing intermittent issues. also the micro switch in the drivers door lock wearing out.
hope this helps:-)
Hi, thank you for your videos, very helpful 👍 could you please do a video for testing the relay and checking the window motor, thanks again.
If you have a multimeter and battery you can test relays but the fabia has a combined control unit with the mirrors I believe and not sure which it is. See if there is a signal to the drivers door switches. check wiring loom/connectors to door. Drivers motor is master to passenger side so you may only need drivers side. Disconnect/reconnect battery. water/damp affects these. will look into doing a video at some stage.
@@HatBoyHarvey thank you, I will have a look at this and let you know 👍
@@HatBoyHarvey hi there, I got to the problem with the motor, it was completely dead, found a replacement on ebay for £70 and it works perfectly now, thanks for all the advice, you are a credit to RUclips.
HatBoyHarvey please do! I have issue with my Roomster. Windows not workkng despite change of wiring-loom for material-cost 100 pounds. 😞
Were some wires broken? Have you tested the wiring for power to the motor? have you tested the motor? It would be a good idea to use OBD2 scanner (vagcom etc) to check the convenience module and reset.
Make a video of Skoda Laura car how we can open the door without help of remote if remote if remote is working but door is not opening then what is the problem please tell me sir
Thank you for the suggestions. Have a look at: ruclips.net/video/suB-n30YJHg/видео.html
hope this helps:-)
first of all Thanks for such a useful video.
Useful video . there is an issue almost the same with my fabia combi 2003. Mine the driver side buttons include side mirror and central locking. The central lock works but with the remote key, and i checked the fuse that was in good condition and i checked the wires there was electric just at one wire that is all. What could be the prob.
Thank you.
Did you fix this error?
@@philwhatever3903 thanks bro 4 asking. Not yet. Because I'm working in other country and the car is not with me. And soon return home and will do so.
@@122803ej I have the same problem, however I think I may have found a solution. When the plenum chambers get clogged up water gets in the car around the comfort control module under the steering wheel. well I have major condensation issues and when it freezes I have to de ice the interior windows as well.
I will let you know how it goes once we have a nice day of weather
@@philwhatever3903 thanks. Probably I could make it next week some how to check it out I'll let you know anyway.
@@philwhatever3903 here I'm back.
finally yesterday after 3 months of not driving it i tried start the car battery was completely dead there was no sign of electric at all. after recharged and with out touching anything i start the car and checked it and everything worked fine.
I think war right probably there was leaking issue which i did not drive the car for a while and at the meantime that dried of.
I have a Skoda roomster 2006 my passenger window doesn't go up or down any ideas before I go out with my hammer 🔨
If you have replaced the switch then check to see if you have power there. check motor works. The wires going into the doors can also break or fray so worth a check.
So 9 pins spare part fits as a replacement for 6 pins original part?
Well spotted, just had a look and your right. I guess this is a generic plug that will take a 4 window switch version, so those 2 extra pins will be redundant for 2 window switches. make sure the LED colour matches your car as my cheap ones came in red :-(
@@HatBoyHarvey I think the same. I found the part on aliexpress with 9 pins and needed one with 6 pin, so that was something that made some doubts. Thanks for the reply!
Do you have any web link from ebay with an proper seller of good item?
Link in description for replacement unit, but this may not come with green LED's (check suppliers or dealer for that)
Hi Harvey, I have had a similar problem and have tried this, however it didn't fix it. Got any ideas?
Check the wiring loom comming into the door. check if the mirror still works or not as these use the same circuit. The system becomes prone to damp/moisture ingress over time, motors eventualy fail and regulators become stuck/loose through wear :-)
@@HatBoyHarvey thanks for the reply, but have already checked the loom and I don't have electric mirrors. I currently think it is the circuit board in the motor because no signal is sent from that to the motor but there is signal sent to the board. So ordering a new one soon 🙂
@@kiva5924 any updates on what worked for you.
@@thisfishiscoolashell no not really, the warmer weather seems to have got it working. If possible leave it in the sun? Some days it works, some days not
@@kiva5924 It stumps me, i had it working last night just from taking apart the door and motor and just rebuilding it all. Now it's not working again, tried cleaning the door switch with contact cleaner to no avail.
Bought a new switch and replaced but still windows not working, changed fuses, check the door wires all good, what can be other problem ? Anyone can help..much appreciate
Has this just occured in the last couple of months, do you get damp footwells? if so moisture maybe the issue here and may be fixed if the car dries up. I would make sure battery is fully charged and has a good ground to the body, then investigate whether or not power is getting through the wires going into the door. do this for the window switches and motor connections first, if no power the issue is further upstream. Check connections/wires are good into/out modules under drivers dash. Motors can also fail, so test independently.
Hey, just replaced the window motor on a 2007 late mk.1 Fabia, in the drivers side door with one from the passenger side of a 2006 Seat Ibiza (ibiza has the same motors as the Fabia just installed on opposite doors). This has fixed the issue of both front windows not working, and oddly has semi corrected a central locking issue... If you haven't fixed the issue yet, this might be worth a try.
