Hi all,

I am new to owning a fiat and up until about a week ago all was going really well.

I went to the car one morning and it just refused to start. I know this is a broad term so I will try my best to explain everything that is going on.

Key turns normally and all comes to life. Radio and lights come on and so forth.
I then try and turn the key to start the engine and nothing. I won't even turn over.

A message came up about rear break lights but they are all working. No other warning lights or anything like that on the dash.

Does anybody have any ideas?
 
What engine??
Can you give any more info. Also where are you located because someone might know a local specialist.
A look at the battery (and connections) would be a place to start , especially if the battery is original because it would be a bit aged by now. Starter motors are pretty reliable , although failures have very occasionally happened.

Hi,
does sounds as if not enough power is getting through- to power the starter motor:eek:

options,

1,put a meter on battery - should be at least 12 volts.;)wiggle terminals at battery poles (poor / loose connections..?)

2, remove battery and install one from a working car

3, when turning key, look carefully at dash , do ALL lights seem to come on + go out as expected..? do they DIM at all when it should start..??

let us know,
Charlie
