This is a new one!
It started OK as usual, drove it for about a mile to the cash machine, switched it off, locked it and went to the machine. Unlocked it with the fob, put the key in the ignitio, radio came on. As usual. Dashboard lit up, fuel gauge and temperature gauge went back to their usual positions.
Then I tried to start it. Nothing. Radio, dash, everything completely dead. Left it for a minute. Still nothing.
Opened the bonnet, unplugged the earth lead, waited 10 seconds, reconnected the earth and all was well.
The fiat equivalent of ctrl-alt-del?
Has anyone else had this happen and does anyone have any ideas about what might have caused it?
When I had my power steering problem a few weeks ago the AA man checked the alternator and battery and pronounced both as fine.
