Technical Fiat Stilo Dash Board Down

[mr puffles]

Hi Can anyone help with the dash board controls going awall all the lights are showing all the dials are down no other electrical faults just the dash board itself can anyone point me in the right direction could it be the srs control module or some thing like this where do I find one or where is it on the Ecu unit? Help cause I took it to Fiat main dealer and they could not diagnose the fault silly people

please explain better what are the fault symptoms - if the fault is in your cluster itself i can repair it , just did one for another forum member.
You will have to send it to the Netherlands though.
Just send me a PM if you are interested.....

As mentioned above can you give a better description. For reference it's the instrument panel not the dash

And where in Norfolk are you out of interest

 

[mr puffles]

Hi yes it's all the warning lights under the sun intermittantly on and off in no particlualr order all the dials ie petrol gauge speedometre those are not working no mileage or computer itself not working what shall I do apaRT FORM THROW THE VEHICLE AWAY

 

[yellowstilo]

i can repair it for you but you will have to send it to the Netherlands - PM for details if you are interested....

The pinnacle as failed either get it repaired or replaced (not cheap)

Is it possible for somebody to explain what the repair to the dash involves ? Thanks

That would depend on what fault is discovered with it.

Is it not a common fault? Seems all stilo's suffer the same.

 

[Davren]

Several Stilos have had a faulty instrument cluster, but not all are necessarily the same problem.

:yeahthat: may suffer similar symptoms, doesn't mean it's the same fault though.

hi there, Mine does this now and again, particularly when the car hjas condensation on the inside (may be damp related)
Just been quoted £700 + VAT from fiat for a new instrument cluster without fitting so not going anywhere near that.

I'm getting one from ebay for a tenth of that but first i need to get the serial number off the back of the current faulty one

sounds like its a long troublesome job whichever option i take.

and, yes, it does seem to be a common fault

But then, thats Italian electrics for you !

Simple to change actually. You don't need a serial number. There is only one thing important, and that is diesel/petrol version (if you don't want to change the dials).

i got my dads repaired, cost £100 including return delivery and took 3 days form posting to receiving it back.... popped it back in and all is perfect

 

[Rowy0]

Cheers guys. I've removed the cluster, easy job. Before I send it off or replace the cluster I want to check feed and earth.
Only one connector at the rear can anyone advise which pin is +&- thanks

Got quoted 120 quid from dash-tec the other day

Just put in a 2nd hand unit this morning. Ill see how that goes first.


Oh, and only one block connector on my standard 1.2 mate.

 

[Rowy0]

Do you know the PIN numbers for live and earth ?

 

[Rowy0]

So so confused. Removed clocks and check what I can, all looks ok. Rebuilt.
Can't get my head around so many faults.
No dash, lock car from drivers door and windows go down, mainly n/s
Then, again car stalled whilst driving, sometimes re starts sometimes doesn't. Already replace tdc sensor.
Help lol

Only one connector at the rear can anyone advise which pin is +&- thanks

Ignition switched +ve power supply is to pin 1 of connector A on the cluster.

Permanent +ve power supply is to pin 2 of connector A.

Earth is to pin 7 of connector A.

The pins are very small and close together, be very careful not to short any together. As I recall from the last time I dismantled a cluster, the internal power supply voltages are regulated down to 5 volts. Shorting a 12v and 5v line would probably not be good news.

Not all engine versions have all 3 connectors (A,B,C) shown in the wiring diagram.

Thank you I'll double check it, I'm using fluke metre for checking volts so should be fine. Still wondering whether something else is the cause of it all but, what?
