Hi there!

New member here, and new Fiat owner after purchasing this scudo about 3 weeks ago.

Its been running fine since purchased, but today I've had three different problems occur.

First one: noticed today that every time I start the car, the trip meter is reset and the time set to 1.00. Weirdly enough, the trip stopped resetting after a few starts, but time is still messed up.

Second: fuel gauge is showing about 25% past full. When turning key, it seems like the gauge should start at zero and then climb, but now it starts at quarter full, and goes to about quarter past full, so it seems like it's offset by a quarter tank!

Third: when trying to figure out how the light inside the back of the van is supposed to be wired up, I realised that the light inside the cabin has died completely. No power reaches the bulb.

The interesting thing though, is that all these three problems have come after I refuelled the car to full tank today. Was running really low, filled her up til it clicked, noticed that it swallowed 82 litres and found that a bit odd since it's only a 80 litre tank! The meter was now a little bit past full, and I reset the trip meter. Since then, the above problems have occurred.

Could anyone help me make any sense at all out of this?

Cheers!
