Hello community,

I'm having a problem with my wife's Fabia.
after troubleshooting a different issue (which has now been resolved).

Will I be able to handle this problem myself, or do I need to go to the icon_biggrin.gif?

The fuses have all been checked, so it shouldn't be a problem with them.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Headnut.

Please provide a more detailed explanation icon_wink.gif.

- Error description
- previous errors
- What repair attempts were made?


Unfortunately, that won't work.

Okay, here's the entire story.
The battery was dead, and my father-in-law came to jump-start the car.
Unfortunately, he had reversed the polarity, and as a result, he initially...
The wires were short-circuited, which naturally also blew a few fuses.

A fuse was located directly on the battery, which is why the servo unit failed. Additionally, the fuse inside the radio (an aftermarket radio) was also defective. Unfortunately, I had checked all the fuses inside the car before I found the defective fuse near the battery, as I had already confirmed that all the relevant fuses inside were fine.

Since I've checked everything, the problem with the LWR (likely referring to a specific system or component) is the cause, and it's not related to incorrect polarity.

Okay, so if I clear the error code using VCDS, the automatic headlight range adjustment starts going up and down, and then the error code reappears. I just drove the Fabia around a bit, and after a while, the warning light in the instrument cluster goes out. After restarting the car, it happens again, and then it disappears after a few minutes.

Since I have checked them all, the problem with the LWR is still present, so it is not related to the polarity.


Apparently not. Reversing polarity is always very bad, or unpredictable, as to what will happen. Anything is possible.

"First, I would disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then re-check the fuses. It's possible that something overheated, there's a contact issue, or a fuse is blown."

Hello,
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/02233
Is everything working?
If so, stay calm, and after a few days, read the error memory.

Okay, it wasn't my intention.

@RedR32Viewing profile: RedR32

Okay, as far as that goes, I don't really have any other choice.
