You can't - it needs to be supplied by Fiat so that it exactly matches your car (each one is unique)

More likely a bad earth issue I'd have thought or a bad node on the CAN line.

Hi,

Disconnect the battery for more than 1 hour.
Next see if the problem is solved.
Maybe one of the ECU's has a data problem and needs a good reset.
I have had 3 times this kind of problems.

Oh, and be sure the lights are off when you connect the battery or else the light bulbs blow out instantly.

OldMan.

Is it true? I didn't take a care about that, but do I need?
