Hi there, bought my Fiat 500 two months ago and I love it, but sometimes when I turn the ignition key nothing happens at all, I then turn it back off then start again and it works! Thus happens every few days or so, but always starts on the 2nd attempt, can anybody shed any light on this please?

Hi, and welcome, :)

do you mean no lights come on?, or that the engine doesn't turn..??:confused:

no lights - electrical switch / key barrel

no starter - let the lights go out( for a couple of seconds),

All the dash board lights come on but the engine does nothing! I'm wondering if the immobiliser isn't reading the key quick enough? It always starts 2nd time perfectly!??!

AFAIK the IMMOB doen't stop the engine from turning on the starter..,
just cuts fuel / sparks, (y)
