Hi,
New here, looking to solve my first Fiat problem...if you guys wouldn't mind helping?
2013 Ducato 130 Multijet (Swift) Motorhome "Comfortmatic" Auto Gearbox. 28k miles.
Yesterday, after a couple of hours driving to campsite, the cruise control stopped working, and the (amber) engine warning light came on. Not sure which happened first, it was nearing the end of my journey.
Driving home today, the van definitely has reduced power, the cruise control is not switching on when I turn the circular switch on the stick, although the dash light illuminates and extinguishes when turning the key, as expected, but the cruise control stick is dead. The check engine light is permanently on.
Trying to find the fuse for the cruise control...I seem to have a later version of the under-dashboard fuse panel, not the one shown everywhere for the 2013 model, but my user manual does not mention cruise control in the fuse allocation section. I've checked fuse #51 already (the fuse used on previous version), and its fine.
I will start checking fuses one by one tomorrow, but I'm wondering if you guys have some ideas or experience of how to start solving this. I could buy a diagnostic tool, if you think its a good idea. Reluctant to go straight to the main dealer, prefer to get stuck in myself.
Presumably the two faults are linked. Is it likely that a cruise control fault threw up the engine warning light? Or is it likely that an engine problem disabled the cruise control?
Thanks in advance.
John
