Hello,

i have been having problems with my central locking, i have a fiat stilo 1.6 16v 55 reg. only recently the passenger door wont open i have to press the open button on my car two or three times before it opens. and now to top it all off my boot will NOT open i have tried pressing the boot button but nothing tried opening the car manually with the key but still the boot will not open.

can someone please help me and tell me what i have to do to get the door sorted and the boot opened. calling someone to do it is last resort money is tight lol!!

any help will be appreciated.
 
Battery gone flat recently?? If so the boot may be set to be ALWAYS locked on the car computer. Ignition on > Press menu and go through the settings till you get to IndfBoot or summit, is it on or off? As for the passenger door, you say you have to press your open key 2 or 3 times, this is normal, they key has to be pressed twice to open the passenger door? It doesnt open with just one press, that opens the driver door only.
 
Prior to any heavy work done on the car, simply disconnect the battery for a half an hour and then put it back.

Most of these issues are actually solved this way.

Good luck. :)
 
I'm also new! Please help me! I can't get into my fiat stilo 54 plate 1.6the key fob has never worked, but now the keys don't manually, I'm sure the batt is fine because it is new, the boot lock won't Evan turn!

I had the same problem. Everything would open but the boot on my Stilo Estate. By accident, I pressed the boot open button for about 3 or 4 seconds and the lock clicked open. I have successfully used this method ever since.

Good luck!
 
If you have split tailgate where the glass part of boot opens also then ..2 short bursts on the remote boot button will open the small tail gate boot ..and press and hold same remote button to open main tailgate

Both main boot and small tailgate buttons on my multiwagon boot went bad over a period of time as they do get a fair amout of spray from rear of car..

Solution to fix was quick trip to maplins purchase new micro switch's for approx £1.70 each, desolder and remove old rusty/dirty micro switch and solder new micro switch back to the small taigate switch pcb and a mini push for contact switch for the main boot door., cheap and easy fix if you have a soldering iron to hand
