FIAT 500 X 2015 1.4 - Stop/Start not working
Hi. I know this is an old chestnut but I like my S/S function and its stopped working so I'm after some advice.
Car went in for service last week and on return the S/S wasn't working. Mechanic put it back on the diagnostic and said it was just an issue of battery charge but the batt and alternator were fine.
The battery was showing 3/4 charge on the display and despite several jaunts up and down the M5 since it hasn't gained or lost any charge. Is it worth plugging it into a charger?
The cold weather has lifted and so I'm not using masses of power to heat the car etc. and still the S/S wont kick in.
I've read elsewhere about disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes to reboot the system. Any good? If I do will I need a code to reset the radio?
Returning it to the garage is an option but its such a faff if its a simple fix.
Any ideas? Thanks
