I have a fiat stilo 1.4 2004 plate, it's had intermittent issues with the security manager but it looks like it's finally given up all together, It refused to start this morning, eventually managed to get it to start but the slightest movement of the body computer(directly behind the battery) makes it cut out, the only fault code I could get is po560 or p0560 can't remember which, the AA came to have a look at it but couldn't determine what was causing the slightest movement of the body computer to make it cut out.

anyone got any last suggestions before I have to scrap it and buy something else ?

Not quite sure what you mean by body computer.....but if you mean the whole fuse board/connector panel, I had several errors and problems all caused by a bit of damp in the connectors of the board. I unplugged everything, sprayed it all with contact cleaner, refitted it all, and never had a problem since.

If all it takes is moving it.....could simply be a loose connection, or break in a wire.

yeah sorry it's the whole fuse board/connector panel, il give it a go cleaning it up one last time and then probably have to get rid of it unless anyone else has any ideas ?

The body computer is the grey box behind the dashboard fuse box.

There's a guide to cleaning the engine compartment fuse box here: https://www.fiatforum.com/stilo-guides/313986-how-clean-dry-out-fuse-box-near-battery.html
