Technical Fiat 500 TwinAir

[matsz9]

Hi,

I have a Fiat 500 TwinAir 2012
The problem: car doesn't start. It doesn't make any noise - when i turn the keys, the console lights up as usual and when i turn the key to start nothing happens.
I've checked the battery - it's on full capacity, even tried with battery booster - didn't change a thing. I drove it yesterday - and nothing happend, no unusual noises etc.

I've had the similar problem 2 weeks ago - even called a tow truck to pick the car up to mechanic, and the driver showed me a trick for Fiat - turning right turn indicator for 3 clicks, then left turn indicator for 3 clicks and it unlocked the car. Unfortunately - no luck this time using the same sequence.

I park the car at underground garage.

Did anyone have a similar issue?

Have you checked the main earth lead as this is a comen fault.

Black large cable runs from the

Battery to Chassis to Gearbox

It can rot inside, and the mush cannot conduct electricity,


Cables are not expensive

You can actually attempt a test with a jumper cable..
One end on the metal of the motor - the other end then clipped to the battery Negative terminal, (works as a second earth)

Two Pandas behaved like this a year ago. The first failed battery sat in my garage for nearly 3 weeks after it was replaced, still showing 12v. It was in fact very Do do like (dead). Dont trust the battery! If the cars battery isdead a second battery has its effect drastically reduced by the dead battery. See oif you can borrow a battery to try it directly. Second car battery failing a few days later was even harder to believe.

The battery booster? Did you connect the BLACK negative lead of the booster to the engine block or battery, if battery try any good metal part of the engine?
