    Odd lighting fault

    Hi Skoda owners, just bought a Fabia Wagon for my daughter late June, great car but friend has 2 Octavia sedans and one 7 years old has developed odd light warning issues with symptoms being:-
    When I was driving the globe warning light came on.
    When I was stopped I looked at the front indicators and found the right front was not working. I took it to BobWatsons and on the way the rear left was not working either. We were going to put new globes in and and found that they were ok.
    So the fault must be in the wiring.
    When the car starts the globe warning light is on and the MFD gives information to check:
    Right front indicator.
    Left rear indicator.
    Number plate light.
    Left rear stop light.
    Right front fog light.
    Right front low beam.
    and
    Right front Main Beam.

    Anyone had a similar fault or know of the reason for this?
    Cheers Bayman

    Sounds like a BCM issue but you'd need to get a scan of the car for faults.
    Another possibility is a failing battery. How old is the battery and what sort of voltage is it putting out?

    +1 on battery. They throw up all sorts of weird errors. Take it to someone with a proper battery tester and see how it goes. Has it been replaced at all or is it still on OEM one?

    BTW dead cells don't get picked up so well, if its more than 3 yrs old, just get it replaced.
