Hello,

So I bought a Fiat 500 2014 about 5 months ago. 1 week after I bought it, the engine light started to flash in time with the right indicator. I got the clock dash replaced. Three weeks ago 2 other warning lights are also flashing in time (ABS and Coolant light). My local fiat garage are now saying "its a characteristic" of the car and that they've already replaced the dash. Is this true? I feel like I'm being fobbed off and would like the problem fixed! The Fiat garage seem unwilling to look at it again and then tried to say there were no lights flashing at all. Should I try another dealer or is this issue common/unfixable?

Thanks for reading! Hope Ive all relevant info (first post!)
 
If the wiring in the car is same as the wiring quality of the rear hatch wiring,:eek: I would look for a damaged wire, maybe the earth wire as mentioned earlier.

Ade:wave:

Hi,

Yes I eventually got it fixed! I got the dash replaced again and no more warning lights! They fobbed me off but I insisted I wanted it fixed
 
Feb. 18, 2019 Oh my I also have a 500 2014. I have 39,900 miles on mine, I've had a year and 5months (not under any warranty as bought second hand) and it is starting this same problem, i.e. the right turn indicator makes the seatbelt warning light come on as well as the engine temperature warning light. My husband suspected an earthing problem. In these replies above, several say to replace 'it' and go onto eBay. Can anyone specifically SAY what it is I need to replace, surely not the whole car! Is it just a wire, or the dash instrument panel that needs replacing? Can it be done at home or advise is to get a dealer to do it? Thanks

The instrument Pannel/cluster
You'd need one with lower miles then yours

If you live near Bradford there's a company called revtronics that do all sorts of repair work on car parts like this
Instrument clusters ect could contact them to see how much it would be to get tours repaired

It’s just the speedo. My video here will show you how to change it.
