Re: help my stilos gone mad

curse lots then wait for Fiat to tell you they've reset something and all is now well (only for it to happen again within a week!)...

Seriously though, youve done the best thing, AA guy should be able to tell you whats up.

Re: help my stilos gone mad

I reckon it's a flat battery, the noise is probably the starter solenoid and the airbag circuit detects the low battery voltage which prevents them from working properly.

Of course I could be wrong.

Re: help my stilos gone mad

At last I'm right about something .

I reckon the airbags just need to be reset because of the low voltage.

Thumbs up Re: help my stilos gone mad

sure enough once battery was back to full charge warnings stoped so allways make sure your battery is at full charge as the car hates it when its not.
well done poggy
Air bag warnings are common due to clips not tight mainly under the seats they are a bright orange colour try wrapping tie wraps round the clips seams to work.
regards
scrod
