Hi all,
I have a 1997 Fiat punto 75sx. From yesterday onwards, the car was acting weird. The battery light was on all the time. Right after that when I switched on the in-car blower/heater, it wasn't working properly, seemed as if the fan was dragging itself, lack of power. Even when I put the blower in 3rd mode, it felt like it was blowing in 1st or 2nd modes.
Then today morning I tried to wash the windscreen with wipers it was also showing lack of power, seemed it was also dragging. But all was okay and I started the car and went to club, switched off the car, came back after 10 minutes cranked the car again and all appeared normal. As my fuel was low I decide to fill her up, so went to the petrol station, switched off the car. After I switched off the car, I just put the key in ignition mode, and when I tried to switch on the light, some kind whining sound popped up. I filled the car and tried to start it, ignition was on but just small starting sound and nothing else. The car won't start. A passing kind motorist helped me by trying to jump start the car and it didn't work.
One more thing - my exide battery has an option where I could see if the battery is working/ fully charged - it will show green colour if fully charged and black if not. My battery is showing black. But still if I switch on the ignition every light comes on, power windows working well.
Sorry for the long story. I don't know how to explain the situation. Kindly help me. Thanking you all in advance for your time and replies.
