In 1999, as part of the Volkswagen Group, Škoda launched a new model line called the Fabia as the successor to the Felicia. Built on the VW Polo platform, the Fabia was produced in several body styles. In this article, we provide detailed fuse box diagrams and terminal layouts for the Škoda Fabia (PQ24 platform; 6Y2 hatchback, 6Y5 Combi station wagon, and 6Y3 sedan) covering model years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, as well as the facelifted models from 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Below you will find the locations and photos of the power distribution boxes. Fuses controlling the “Cigarette lighter” and “Fuel pump” circuits are highlighted in bold.
In the engine compartment
The main engine compartment fuse box is mounted directly on top of the battery unit. It consists primarily of high-current fusible links.
