Hi, new to the forum to hopefully get a bit of help.

I recently bought a 2003 3 door 1.6 stilo that needed some work. it requires a rear bumper which are readily available on ebay in the various paint codes, but i have a feeling some kind previous owner has removed the sticker containing the paint code as i don't seem to be able to find it!:bang: Is there a way of obtaining the original paint code from the chassis/reg number?

some idiot has also cut the connectors and attempted to bodge the wiring underneath the seats. can anybody help with which colour wires to attach together as i don't want to trial and error and activate the airbags!

lastly, the tailgate switch is not working. it is enabled in the menu but still doesn't work. does anybody know if there is a fuse for it, and if so, what fuse it is?

if somebody could post a fusebox diagram indicating which fuses do what that would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance for any help!!

hello there!

I cant help with paint code but there should be something in the engine bay with it on, but even if it isn't there, someone will be able to advise you.

as for the boot, there is a fuse in the panel by your right knee, its F38-10 amp fuse.

as for the seats, don't fiddle with it with the battery connected whatever you do. There should be a guide on here about the connector and wires, have a look in the how to section.

good luck, hope you get it sorted nice and easy!

The paint code for the stilo isn't in the engine it's in the boot

No it isn't, it's on the underside of the bonnet.

Fuse box diagrams are in the owner's handbook. If you don't have one, you can download it from the forum downloads section here: https://www.fiatforum.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=5

Your paint code is available on Eper if you put in your chassis number - eper.fiatforum.com

Where on ePER is it?

I know it shows upholstery colour codes and swatches, but never seen paint codes.

Colours may vary between models as I know they do for other wiring for the body computer etc.
