Where is the fuse for the engine oil level sensor SolvedSolved

Skoda Octavia 2011 Octavia Scout auto, 2.0 diesel RHD 148000 miles
The orange light flashes intermittently. The oil level is correct when dipped. A garage tells me to replace the sensor at around 135.00 plus a couple of hours labour! (without testing the unit) or, ignore it and check the oil level regularly. My point is whether there is a loose connection activating the warning light. So, which fuse is involved as I cannot find it on the diagram ?
WHY? Because fuses 1, 27, and 37 fused with the car stationary, and thereby a n unsolved mystery. I just wonder if this sensor connection is at fault.

Best answer (according to Beiderbeck)

Sorted!. The car fuses 1,27,37 all blew at the same time whilst the car was parked AND UNATTENDED. A mystery for the mechanics as to what might have caused this. Eventually solved when it was proved that the oil level sensor on these series2 models needs to be checked for damp, loose connection etc, before rushing out to buy a new sensor. This one works perfectly now, the oil light does not come on and the fuses do not blow. The connection was loose, it must have shorted out, and the feed goes into the dashboard main fuse (1) rendering the car mamangement function inoperable. Owners could well check this out as a blown fuse because of this sensor connection failing is a weird way to kill all the electrical functions. In this case, even the PARK feature could not be released. The car had to be repaired on the road. So, problem solved.

High beam issue in driver side bi-xenon headlight - UK RHD

Good afternoon all, So... I have this strange issue. The drivers side headlight operates absolutely fine except high beam. There's no clicking like on the left side.

Main screen

Skoda Octavia 2021 Estate 76291 miles
When the car is turned on the main screen will turn on then off again this well repeat until it turn off and then you can’t hold on button to reset it then it will go through the cycle of on and and off you can’t hold do this a couple of times. Then it will go off all together and you can only get it back on if you take the fuse out and put it back in.

Blower Motor not working

Skoda Octavia 2012 hatchback 180000 miles
I had a recent issue with blower motor only working on setting 4. I replaced a Blower Motor Resistor and it worked for a few days then it burnt out and there was smoke coming out of my blowers and it stopped working (back to only setting 4). So I replaced blower motor and a resistor with a 2nd hand one of my friends car and its done the same thing. Now every time I put a fan on any speed it blows a fuse in the fuse box. That is any size of the fuse i put in to it.

It seems like there is an electrical fault somewhere...
Is there a relay for the whole system?
Is there anything in the fuse box under the bonnet that could be wrong? I had to replace a fuse there as well for the fan to work.
If anyone could help me out that would be great. Any suggestions welcome!

battery drain, erratic air con cooling/heating, erratic lock/unlock

Skoda Octavia 2004 Mk2 1.9 (diesel) Elegance 80000 miles
Recurring problem of Battery drain within days, even with solar charger attached. (Batteries etc have been checked and no problem there.) Air con is weird, blowing cool from one spot and heat from another. Blower sounds strong but not much heat on the feet for example. Central locking does not operate properly. The problems began to accumulate following visits to workshops ... All fine before then.
The vehicle has a factory-fitted alarm.
