Hi I just joined but have been a Fiat owner for about 2 years now. (My mum is a Fiat junkie I think! Having had Fiats since 1975ish!) I was after some info as to where to get a new key (remote) as the micro switch in both my keys are missing. I lost one replacing the battery and the spare key has never had one. Does anyone supply or fix on this site?
I have done a fair bit of maintaining to my multipla (front wishbones/drop links rear trailing arm bearings) so I'm ok with the DIY bits!
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!
 
Welcome to the forum. Have a look at this thread:
https://www.fiatforum.com/multipla/271317-remote-key-microswitch-wanted.html

Farnell have a minimum order charge that'll make the switch an expensive buy, but once you've got the part number for it you might get lucky on google. Someone has previously mentioned that the switches are available on ebay Italy, so it may be worth a 'worldwide' search on there; the problem will be finding the correct (Italian) words to use in the search.

Alternatively, buy a knackered key off ebay and rob the switch from that. Whatever route you take, you'll need to have a fine-tipped soldering iron as they're fiddly little suckers.

Michelle - click the blue 'New thread' button at the top of the threads list.
 
Mmm ok I just had the fan belt changed on my seicento because it was squealing all the time....the new one is doing the same thing also it's not starting very well you would think the battery is dead but the suddenly it will start. Please help :(
 
Thanks Widemouthfrog. I looked it up on Farnells but min order is 150 pieces! I only want 2. But I looked on Amazon and ebay and found the switches on ebay, 5 of them for £5.40 So will give them a try. If it works I will post on here as it would be a very cheap fix. I cant post the link (only posted once) but copy and paste this into the search bar and the options will appear! 5-X-SWITCH-TACTILE-SMD-2-16N-Part-SKQLLCE012
 
Well the switches arrived and I fitted them last night. All is good in the remote locking world again! Woo Hoo! No more running backwards and forwards to the door. If anyone else wants to try this its quite easy. If on the other hand anyone would like me to do it for them, I would be more than happy to help (for a small fee of course!)
 
Good to hear you got it sorted. Might be worth adding some tags (and photos?) to this thread to help others find it in future - it's a common fault and the thread title doesn't give many clues!
