Why So Serious 84
New member
I am a proud new owner of an 02 Stilo 1.2 active, I have had dozens of cars in my time and this is my first Fiat and tbh I love it
I really want to keep this car and will be giving her some arbarth alloys and plenty of tlc but as you can imagine im having a nightmare with electrical problerms! After spending alot of time on this forum I have great respect for you guys and I have allready learnt how to solve my brake light switch problem and I also have a good idea of where to start with my airbag warning light problem, but thats just the start.......
At the moment my car is beep beep beep! every 10 seconds when im driving, and quite possibly every time I brake aswell!! ARGHH!!
I have STOP ENGINE airbag warning lights, and warning lights for rear lights, stop lights, front lights, and number plate lights but they all work!! Also my dash lights dont work... except when I turn on my passenger interior light!!
but when I do that I get ANOTHER warning message telling me my passenger door is open!! WTF lol I have also noticed that having done this, my dipped beam will stay when I turn them off, untill I turn my interior light off!
I know what to do about the Airbag warning, but I really want to use my dash lights without ducktaping the interior light over
and is there ANY way to turn the beeping off because I set the volume to 1 and its still loud! driving me crazy why cant you turn it off and why the hell does the volume go to 10!
O.K then, Firstly there are some clues as to why may car is this way, somebody has wired the sidelights, main beam and rear fog light on to seperate labelled rocker switches on the dashbaord...
Im guessing this was done instead of replacing the control stalk but all I know is the control stalk works for dipped beam, the others are on the dash. I also had the displeasure of discovering my brake signal switch was unplugged from its proper connector and had instead been rewired to the fuse box via a relay block. There is definately alot of wires near the fuse box that shouldnt be there and when I brake I hear the relay click!
I know somebody has screwed this car up for me and if it was any other car would of sold it on allready but for some reason I like having something a bit different and uncommon and the design is really starting to grow on me, Id apreciate any positive feedback this is my first ever post thanks for your time guys.
