there are no wires that colour at the back of the stereo so must be a later model the radio came from so gonna sack that idea, probably cost too much to get it disabled
Mine did exactly that some months ago. It was a faulty Thermostat, replaced it and Gauge now moves to the middle and stays there. At the time it did that the heater wasn't as efficient and didnt get the car really hot inside.
Only minor difficulty in replacing the Thermostat is bleeding the system after..it's a PITA.
done it today and on initial run up the needle went to the middle and stayed there and when i got in the car it was very warm in there followed what it said in the haynes manual and didnt seem to have a problem bleeding the system(so far lol)
Just be aware - the thermostat's can often in cold cold winters loose heat
if you have the heaters on full chat and driving - there is alot of cold cold cold air passing over the Nice hot radiators / Matrix
Since there is a great difference in temperatures, it allows a much greater co-efficent transfer of heat
As a result - it kinda over cools, and without realising - you can stop dropping a few knotches on the heat
I find sitting on recirculate air helps - as warm air passes once cabs warmed up
My work vans are terrible for it and there brand new!

Ive wondered from cold to hot if it helpsrecirculate set fan will warm up engine faster?
maybe we need to send a letter to fiat regarding this question
