Got a 2010 Punto Evo semi automatic with 98k on the clock. Not had a problem with it until a couple of weeks ago my wife tried to move off in 1st gear and it failed, leaving her stranded.
The RAC came out and towed it to our local garage, but with it being a Fiat couldn't help us with it. They replaced the fuse 30amp, with a 40amp one and it started to work again, with the hydraulic pump running when the door was opened. The 1st gear was selected and it moved off, but then the dashboard message about the transmission came up again, then it blew the 40amp fuse.
I have read a lot of the posts regarding the problems but no one mentions that their fuses have blown, just the dashboard warnings.
Any ideas why the fuses keep blowing or even whats wrong with it.
It's worth very little in it's condition at the moment, but if i get it fixed for a few hundred quid, might be worth a lot more, big dilemma
