Fabia 2 Relay details

[dickturpin]

Please can anyone tell me how to access the relays on a Fabia mk2 2008.
I think one that contols the wipers (front) has an intermittent fault and I cant find the relay!

Thank you

Usually under the panel in the drivers footwell

The relay is part of the on board supply control unit or "J519 - Vehicle voltage control unit " as Skoda call it, other people call them body modules, they have lots of names. I sometimes call them central electrics units.

thank you Crasher, that explains why i cant find them! is there any serviceable parts in there?

[dickturpin]

ok guys, for future reference, the problem was a poor earth. sorted now. also be aware that intermittent doesnt
work with bonnet open, other settings ok.

[Crasher]

On other late models such as the Golf 5, no wiper functions are available with the bonnet open, I will have to check that as I am not sure on the Fabia 2.

bloody things packed in again today after working ok for a few hundred yards!!!

mmmm there seems to be a few issues on the web rethese boxes (j519) and wipers.
The car is completely stock, no mods. Seems I will have to get it scanned to home in on this intermittent fault.
One thread refers to checking earth from J519 to battery. What colour wire are we looking for.
I feel knackered without a manual or wiring diagram to refer to.

The manual or wiring diagram is one thing to be short of, not having a diagnostic system to see switch inputs and run the motor via output tests is a shortage you are not even aware of.
