Dear Fellows,

I have a Fiat Punto from 1996. It has now the following trouble: when the direction indicator is on, whenever I press the brake pedal or switch on the rear fog light or put reverse, the direction indicator stops to flash. Once I release the brake pedal or turn off the rear fog light or put any other gear than reverse, the direction indicator continues working as usual.

I suspect it has to do with some part in the electrical system that somehow merges the circuits together, so for some reason, the actions of the brake / fog light / reverse light are drawing the current aimed at the direction indicators.

I could look into the MK2 wiring diagram, and found out a part called multi-timer unit. But no so sure what is that for and where it is located. However, my Punto is MK1, so unsure about its existence. :bang::bang:

Any clue? input? Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 1996 Punto?
I will be very grateful!!

Kind regards to you all!

had same on mine, there is bad contact with the light bulb, probably water in there too, open the rear holder and clean- change bulbs

Sounds like an earth fault on one of the rear clusters. Quite common with lesser makes.

Forget the Mk2 -- it's a canbus car, the Mk1 isn't.

Does sound like an earth fault. The rear clusters in Mk1s are prone to corrosion damage, too.
