i recently put a lower mileage engine in 1 of my cinquecentos.
after putting it in the ignition key was on on the dash but it ran ok.
was running fine the other day. then yesterday it wasnt running very well, as if chuckingish along unless you gave it some beans, i thought maybe a dodgy coil as it has never ticked over very well, no matter what engine is in it.
after getting some fuel and pumping the tyres got home. turned it off, went to turn it back on and there was no power to anything.
still got no power to anything, although the interior light works and the horn so battery is ok i think.
nothing else works, no lights, blower, fuel pump prime or starter.
i have checked all fuses, including by the ecu, all fine.
checked wires to alternator, starter, all earth leads, all ok.
checked ecu connections, swapped ecu with my other cinq, still no power.
the only thing that would have been a bit dodgy is the earth lead from gearbox to the shell, had to replace it when i changed engines and the 1 lead i made out of 2 wasnt the best but it worked. i have also added a second earth lead from box to shell but still no power.
checked igniton switch wiring, all ok.
i am stumped. any help would be great.
thanks.
