Technical Blank / Faulty Odometer Display / Led screen.

[The Hawk]

Hi. Just bought a 59 plate 1.4 Fiat Punto. Help required. Between the Rev counter and Speedo there is a display which should show the mileage on the car, temperature etc. It appears to just light up and have no details. Sometimes it will show something but looks all jumbled up. When I bought the car it was perfect. It has sat in the drive for two weeks and not been used so not sure if that would cause it? Any help would be grateful, thanks

believe the LCD can fail. I have this issue with my GP (thats been sitting SORN'd for 8 years). Just had a look else where in the forum and came across this thread. the last post links to another few posts. Basically looks like it needs replacing. Cheers.

The damp makes it fail. If you dry it out it works.

Though it's a reply to much older post but I think the Fiat Fans will be benefited from what I have done as a permanent solution to this problem. After the same issue, I found new OEM spare is of Rs 18000.00 and 2nd hand spares are available @Rs 8000 in India. I have done a deep search and study and found many versions in Europe, USA and China for different models of Fiat Cars. The best one for my 2010 Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 Multijet Emotion found in Ebay at 60 USD cost and 12 USD transportation. I preferred the new because the 2nd hand displays may disappear any day. The fitment looks critical but actually not that much. I started & done it. You only need a Torx set (type of Screwdriver).
