Power steering fuse

Joey122mac · 12-07-2006, 12:18

If the fuse diagram is corrcet how does the power steering map to fuse number 8?

As in the manual book

**VRStu** · 12-07-2006, 13:59

Perhaps you could clarify your question a little.

Joey122mac · 12-07-2006, 18:22

I guess I m asking what fuse relates to power steering ? In the manual it say fuse 8 however when I look at the fuse diagram on this website it says fuse eight is empty

Lummox · 12-07-2006, 18:26

Whats the problem?

Lummox · 12-07-2006, 18:39

Looking at the current flow diagram the two fuses are in postion 3 (50amp) on the top of the battery and position 7 in the fuse box.

Joey122mac · 12-07-2006, 21:38

Hmm,

Thanks - Thats very kind - Is that for the 1.4 fabia petrol - 2000 model?

Joey122mac · 12-07-2006, 21:40

Funny - This fuse problem becuase if you look here :

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/attac...g?d=1113161367

The guy says that some fuses which dont appear in the manua should appear and vice versa - I wonder whos rights ??

Joey122mac · 12-07-2006, 21:42

BTW : Is that attatchemnt relating to the fuse box inside the car - ie left of dash or is it the fuse box under the battery flap?

I didnt rellay understand how to interpret iut

Thanks so much

**VRStu** · 12-07-2006, 22:09

That attacment is the current flow diagram as used by the dealers.

As Ross has said, according to that diagram there is a fuse in the battery cover and one inside the car.

Pretty clear I thought which is which. maybe french would be better?

Regardant l'organigramme courant les deux fusibles sont dans le postion 3 sur le dessus de la batterie et placez 7 dans la boîte de fusible.

Joey122mac · 23-07-2006, 16:42

Hi,

Lumomx - thanks for the fuse diagram - Very useful

Well I thoroughly checked the fuse on the battery and it is ok - I also checked the fusebox and they are ok

However I think I have got to the bottom of this - The third brake light is not working - The light high up -

Do you think this is the problem ? And if so is it the light switch or the bulb or both

Joey122mac · 23-07-2006, 16:43

Thanks to all for the reply - I hope I can nail this down so that others might have a clue on diagnostic using the seach in this useful forum

Lummox · 23-07-2006, 17:05

If the regular brakes lights are working and the high level isnt it can only be a fault in the brake light itself of a very small part of he loom that splits off from the main loom at the back.

It wont have anything to do with the PAS fault.

Joey122mac · 23-07-2006, 17:07

On second thoughts - This still doesnt exaplin why the power steering pump wasnt picked up in a VAG com test by the dealer - The dealer could nt communicate with it at all.

Oh well - Lifes a bummer

Lummox · 23-07-2006, 17:09

If there is power at the pump and the data bus communication is ok on the PAS system then the only option is a faulty pump.

Joey122mac · 23-07-2006, 20:16

Hi,

Yeah , your right 0 I was just hanging on to my last glimmer of hope so i didnt have to replace the pump ........

mr barearse · 23-07-2006, 23:43

so why does it say there is a pas fuse in position no8 in the manual for the fuse box inside the car when in the car it is empty?

Lummox · 24-07-2006, 07:24

Because the manuals are written for LHD and not allways the gospel truth, just a guide.

Joey122mac · 24-07-2006, 13:06

Ok,

Spoke with my garage - Watford to order a replacement pump and sensor-

Baically the guy there said hs had never heard of a pump going on one of these skodas - He suggested I bring the car in and get it reset ...

But when we hooked up VAG com to the car - It turned out to be that no fault codes were recorded - That is there were two code which were returned - but when cleared did not show up even a week later.

I guess I ll try one last go at having the fault codes checked. and possible reset but SHoudl I be holding my breath?

Lummox · 24-07-2006, 18:21

Ive changed plenty of pumps..lol.

So you have got communication with the pump now then?

Joey122mac · 24-07-2006, 18:27

Well - no - No communication with the pump -- At least not with one dealers machine ..

Lummox · 24-07-2006, 18:34

So how can you check fault codes if there is no communication?

Joey122mac · 24-07-2006, 18:57

Hmm - I guess I can t ...

The fault codes were from the generic faults code menu - But when we tried to check the PAS module there was no reply

I guess that means its no joy .
