Hi

I have rejoined after a period of not posting having had a period of nothing but easy motoring with the Stilo but has anyone ever heard or seen anything like this.

Last week the car was left for four days unused, ran perfectly on Sunday and Monday.

Tuesday morning and the Battery was flat - left for another 4 days until I could boost it and get it to an auto electrical specialist -- No battery problem found suggested we put a lot of miles on it and have it checked again next week.

All OK until someone arrives at a car park and presses the drivers window control -- noise but the window doesnt't open. Try again - drivers window doesn't open but passenger says "Why do you keep opening my window?" :confused:

Driver tries Passengers window control and drivers window opens !!! :confused: :confused:

Investigate further and find that setting the door mirror control to alter the drivers mirror enables the pad to control the passenger's mirror and the setting it to th epassenger's mirror enable the drivers mirror to be changed.

The only thing that has happened id thet the battery was low for about 7 days in total

Anyone got any ideas or am I at the mercy of my local FIAT dealer ??

Mmmm, probably to do with the battery being low, and the body computer or something reverting back to European mode :chin:

I am sure this happened ages ago to someone - no time to search now, but will do so later on.

I would have thought it would have been an easy job to sort on Examiner, although you may get charged for it if not under warranty.
 
Thanks

I wondered about resetting to a different mode but cannot see why the right hand switch would operate the left hand window.

If the switch is moved to the left hand door thw switches would still be in the same relation to each other but who pretends to understand Italian Electrics.:)

Someone did post this up not so long ago, it is to do with low battery. I think if you take the battery off then put it on again it reverts the computer back to GB settings.

Unnless you want to keep them for comedy values!

Dont quote me on the battery thing, I'll search the forum when i get time, unless stu beats us to it!
