Hi there - just got ownership of a little used V reg Brava 1.6 sx 100 (automatic) previously owned by my 90 year old stepmum.
She often had problems getting it started which we put down to lack of use (short 20 min runs twice a week if lucky) & the battery frequently needing to be recharged.
Being new to automatics, I noticed that the red Park light on the console seems to continuously stays lit (red) after the ignition has been turned off & wasn't sure if this is normal or whether this should go out after a certain length of time ? I've noticed with other automatic cars owned by people I know these lights normally go off after the ignition is turned off.
Could this be why it is losing charge & draining the battery ?
I would be grateful if anyone knows out there in Fiat world !
Thanks
