Fiat Technicians advise needed
Stilo 1.4 Dynamic 2005 model year. Problem from new with the climate control. Most times when you start the engine with the climate control set at for example on 16 or low (in other words set to come on), the clutch throws in the cooling fan starts. (In other words what you would expect to happen)
But then the compressor clutch disengages after a few seconds.
If you press the off control or the compressor control switch briefly off and on if fires back up again sometimes staying on as it should. On occasions you have to go through this routine several times to get it to work correctly. But mostly only once.
When you get it working all appears to function as it should.
Now the question: has any technician any thoughts where the problem might be
Obviously the car is near new with full dealership warranty but I would deeply appreciate any fiat technicians’ thoughts on this problem.
