Morning all,


so the Abarth has thrown it's first challenge of my ownership at me - the driver's side door is electrically dead.


Mechanically it's sound, you can lock and unlock it by the key and the handles in and out work just fine.


The problem being that nothing electrical works about the door, window switches, mirror switches or remote central locking. RCL does work just fine on the other two doors.


I've done the industry approved wiggle the multi plug on the door to see what happens test but there is no signs of anything happening.


Wife has had to go to work with her today and will have to lock on the key, fair enough but will be having a look into the problem tomorrow. Guessing it'll be a door card off adventure. Anyone know anything about the door modules on these or have any useful insight that might save me? I don't suppose there is a fuse for just one door is there?


Any help / insight or wisdom very gratefully received.

Maybe something simple like a fuse?

I hope so mate! I'm searching but I can't see that there is a fuse for just the one door. I'll keep looking though, cheers

Pages had stuck together in my manual and didn't look at the numbers, found another page of fuses - jeez!


Could be fuse F47 for power to door module. Might make sense. Question then is what's popped it.

Try the industry approved disconnect and clean the door connector. Lifting the grey locking tab pushes the connector out.

I will give that a go if the fuse proves fruitless. I did peel back the rubber protective sleeve and it's good and clean in there, it was well sealed so hope the connectors haven't gone rusty. Never know though.


I did try and open the connector but at 8 in the morning with nothing by my bare fingers I couldn't get it to shift before the wife wanted to be away for work.


Hope it doesn't turn into a major investigation but we will see!

Cheers.

Did you fix it?

My door died during the snowy spell last week.. I was hoping that there’s a single fuse involved and that me operating the window when it was slightly iced up may have tripped it.

I’ll have a look at F47 .. we’re in a rainy spell now.. but if it wasn’t the fuse, what was it?

My fuse F47 turned out okay.

Removing the connector plug, generally squirting WD40 everywhere and re-fitting sorted it.
