Technical Another oddball electrical symptom - yellow triangle alert!

And an update to the update which updated the update.

New battery a very few months ago - Feb or so. And a good 'un - one of those Yamasakibushis with lots of CCAs and everyfink.

Happy little Fiat, behaved itself very nicely, with just the regular blown DRL for old time's sake, felt rather proud of it.

Until last week. Back to ESC, hill et al switching off upon braking. Sometimes. Or sometimes not.

They're possessed of a certain sense of humour, these little Fiats. It'd better be careful, lest I consummate a so far long distance affair with a certain i3.

I had similar issues with mine a year ago and initially thought it was the battery. Then I discovered it had just had a new battery before I bought it. I then set about cleaning the battery connectors with contact cleaner and also cleaned the metal parts of the intelligent battery sensor thing for the start stop. I then sprayed them all with lithium grease and I have never had a problem since.

Might just treat it to a good seeing to with some fine wet and dry, it was a bit crusty, I recall.

Update to the updated update on the earlier update.

Looks like it's an intermittently faulty brake switch because we've eliminated everything else (and, whisper it quietly, the Man found a code) @chris3234 diagnosed it months ago!
