Skoda Octavia 2010 Model. Dash Fault

[sherl645]

Hi,
I have a trade customer with 3 2009-2010 Octavias. All three have the same fault. The left indicator on the dash, the battery light and the bonnet open warning light are all lit dimly as soon as the dash is powered up. The lights work fine otherwise but when they're off they aren't fully off.

Has anyone come across anything like this with this clusters?
Thanks,
Ronan.

Are these three lights close together on the dash ?
It could be just light leaking from another part of the dash which will look like other lights faintly lit.
If the white plastic mould that sits on the PCB is not tight the light can leak out.

I have it out and open. The leds definitely are lit dimly. I haven't examined it thoroughly yet, just thought someone may have seen it before.

these are known to have faulty led drivers,

It could also be that 1 led is broken and this makes other leds in same circuit light up a little bit.

hello

has anyone fixed this fault yet ?
seems to be leak back to some leds
replacing leds does not fix .

[H2Deetoo]

Replacing led *does* fix it, but you have to find the responsible led.
Also maybe you have a different problem perhaps ..

Seems to be a very common problem,

Have this problem too on a 2012 fabia with a vdo cluster, I have 3 leds at fault and have replaced all 3 with the same result, traced them back to a 5bt transistor which when removed non of the offending led's light so I replaced this too but still the same, any ideas? thanks.

try to power it on bench ... and follow 12v till power distribution ic and read it's datasheet till each led supply ... i don't know how many leds do you have but sure more than 3 so try to remove same suspected part (powers anothers ones) and power again and note difference

Looks like the mystery of fixing these clocks has not been found yet, I have just had another customer arrive with a 2010 Octavia this morning, I actually got 1 of these repaired a few years ago but that guy has since emigrated, any help would be great on this

Anyone no a fix for this. Skoda yeti. 3 dim lights in background when driving. Anyone fix this fault. Seen loads with same problem.

[volodin69]

these are known to have faulty led drivers,

Must unmount ipc and resolder all on it. Common failure on VAG.

[radiosolutions]

Is there a specific place on pcb to solder to repair this issue

[frontpager]

Does anyone know the specific fix for these clusters?
