I have just purchased my 3rd stilo abarth it's an 2006 selespeed but I have various electrical issues first the rear drivers side light is all dull when indicator or brake is used ,secondly the heaters don't work at all hot or cold , the interior lights just do what they want, and it keeps saying anti pinch fault left door Not sure if these could all be linked???
Any1 help????
 
Hi James, the heater could well be a dodgy switch panel perhaps just a replacement will cure it. The rear light sounds like a bad earth - when another light comes on it zaps power from the indicators earth point. A clean up of the terminals and a blast with some WD40 could well see that right.

Can't help with the others though - not sure what an anti pinch is?
 
Anti pinch sensor is inside the top side window rubbers. It stops the window rising if there's an obstruction (finger, head etc.) in the way.

The sensor connector inside the door probably needs cleaning or refitting.
.
 
Before taking the door panel off, try cleaning the pins in the round connector between the front of the door and the "A" post. Use electrical contact cleaner, not WD40 or similar.

The connector should come out as you lift the grey clip vertically.

Ok I will try that as I think it may be a loose or dodgy connection as it happens manly on bumps
