What is the reason for the Octavia fog light malfunction?

Octavia fog light malfunction causes are: fuse damage, if the fuse is not damaged then it may be the bulb damage, if both are intact, it may be a circuit grounding issue, this malfunction cannot be resolved by non-professionals, it is recommended to go to a relevant professional 4S shop for troubleshooting. The Octavia body dimensions are 4572mm in length, 1769mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2578mm. The whole vehicle adopts the new design language of the Skoda family, showing a simple, fashionable, and atmospheric styling style, the body size is comprehensively improved, among which the wheelbase is increased by 108mm, the driving and riding space is significantly improved.
My Octavia's fog lights also suddenly stopped working a while ago. After checking, the most common issue was a burnt-out bulb. Just pop the hood, locate the fog light position, twist the socket counterclockwise to remove it, and replace it with the same model halogen bulb—costs about twenty bucks to fix. If the bulb is fine, check the fuse. There's a diagram on the cover of the fuse box on the left side of the driver's seat; find the one corresponding to the fog lights, pull it out, and see if the fuse is blown. It's really dangerous to suddenly lose lights in foggy or rainy conditions, so I recommend keeping spare bulbs and fuses in the trunk for emergencies. Oxidized wiring connectors can also cause poor contact—try sanding the contacts with sandpaper yourself. If these fixes don’t work, head to the repair shop immediately to check the relay and wiring for any exposed or short-circuited wires.
