Skoda Fabia cruise control malfunction
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Skoda Fabia with a diesel engine experienced a cruise control malfunction, accompanied by an error message on the speedometer. The issue was traced to a defective cable or plug connection related to the actuator within the car's electronics system. A similar problem was resolved by checking the fuse box, but in this case, the workshop confirmed the defective cable connection as the cause, and the repair was completed.

When you mention the fuse box, do you recall which fuse specifically was affected? Furthermore, did you also experience any error messages or was the cruise control simply non-functional?

Yes, I also had an error message in the speedometer. It was definitely a fuse related to the car electronics. I am not sure about the exact fuse number, but it was related to the cruise control system according to the workshop. I suggest checking it out or going straight to the workshop.

I appreciate you confirming this was the likely cause. I took it to a workshop, and indeed, a defective cable connection to the actuator was the culprit as expected. The final repair cost was 95€. Thank you for your help.

I also own a Skoda Fabia with a diesel engine, and I had a similar problem with my cruise control. It just stopped working. Have you checked the fuse box? That was the issue in my case.
