Hi John! I don't have a wiring diagram but I don't think the seicento steering column will fit in the cinq.
Yes! you can put the Seicento power steering in a Cinquecento (Craigb244 & others on this forum have done this) -but it is not easy! I have read that you have to change the steering rack, the steering column, the top mounts & maybe other bits as well.
There isn't a Haynes manual for the Seicento but you can find the wiring diagrams in the 'Downloads' Section at the top of the page or you can buy a Workshop Manual disc on eBay for a few pounds.
WHY do you want power steering?.... I prefer power steering but many people don't like it.
If you want to change your steering from 4 turns (lock to lock) to 3 turns it seems you only need to put in the steering rack from a Seicento with power steering. https://www.fiatforum.com/cinquecento-seicento/219939-quick-rack-steering.html

I want to completely get rid of my PAS. ECU & all.
Does anyone have a standard column?

Send him a private message, he can normally send what you need & the prices aren't bad.

Yes you can fit EPS to a Cinq.
You need the EPS column and ECU. You do not 'need' to change the rack or top mounts.
The biggest problem you will have is that the ECU requires a speed signal as the EPS is speed sensitive. The Cinq doesn't have that sensor. You can possibly design a circuit your self that will allow adjustment, but do not consider running it with full assistance, you will be off the road in seconds.
Mine is on my autotest car with custom top mounts and the quicker Sei rack and it is scarily light. Would never use it on the road.
I hope this is for a similar competition car.

I knew i'd read something about changing the top mounts....https://www.fiatforum.com/cinquecento-seicento/252151-fitting-power-steering-cinquecento.html
Seems like way too much work unless you're using the Cinq for automotive events.

Changing the top mounts is a very easy job.
