Technical Dashboard instruments keep dropping to zero
When does this happen? Does the clock reset to 00:00?
When does it happen,first time you switch it on or when driving?
I had this in a Seat. Was rogue voltage comming from ignition system effecting the ECU- as the choke would also come on. Drove me nuts for weeks then when I changed the plugs, leads, dizzie cap and rotor arm I no longer had the fault.
Dont think this would be in the stilo, could be a loose connection

D4 conector is behind the battery i located it the other day on top there is a lever pull this up and a front part well slide out couldnt the damn thing apart though if you do repost
thats the fun part of fiat owner ship THE PAINI haven't noticed any specific action i'm doing when it happens like dropping from 5th to 4th. I have noticed its getting more frequent though. If it gets much worse I'll have to guess what speed I'm doing. Still if the odometer isn't going up it'll save on servicing costs!

Mine dropped to zero two weeks ago as well as the dashboard lights, also there are 5 warning lights showing the car has been in the fiat garage but could not totally identify problem except it might be an instrument panel ,cost to replace approx £350. Need help immediatly, anyone out there got any ideas.:

mines going into fiat on friday fto fix my speedo dropping to zero, they will be replacing the fuse box as they say it has corroded causing signal loss to the speedo sometimes.......something to do with fly by wire i was told but don't believe them
Ive got a similar problem in my punto (w reg sporting) - my instrument panel works only when the temperature is warm, when it is cold it doesn't work at all!! i had it checked last week and they said i needed a complete new unit. - costing me £243 plus £50 fitting and programming !! it was getting red hot so they disconnected it straight away; dont really know what caused it but any ideas would be grateful!?
This could be similar to the problem that you have but hope not cause its expensive!!!When i have it fitted tomorrow i may ask them some questions and see if i can find out any more
