Technical Indicators dont work!

[midge]

as title really, im sure it isnt the stalk as they dont wrk off the hazard switch either, anyone had a similar problem and can tell me where to start?

Also my injector light is on, i suspect the o2 sensor, but it would be good to get a diagnostic done! how much isit?

First thing to check is the fuses/relays for the indicators.

As to the injector light, it could be a number of things. Is the car running normal? First give it a shot of redex or similar , then u can check the resistance of the injectors as these are prone to go. A diagnostic is the best way to find the problem. Mine was on constantly was going mad over what it could be so got it plugged in and found the problem straight away. Its less hassle in the long run. Cost me £45 at a fiat dealer so anywhere round that price. Its worth it though.

what was the problem with your injector light? the car is running fine!

wheres the relay for the indicators? and fuse's? sorry this car is new to me and just using it as a run around!

My injector light used to come on every now and then. No performance troubles at all. Then it became more frequent until it stayed on. Couldnt find the fault myself (checked resistance of injectors) so took it to fiat to get a diagnostic. Mines an old 3pin connector so its a pain to find garages to do it so had to take it to fiat. They found that the cam sensor was causing a fault. Needed a new cambelt so decided to have it all done together and now its sorted, no light. Could be loads of things so having a diagnostic done is best to pinpoint it.

The relays and fuses are at the main fusebox, under the cover by the drivers side.

Had similar issues..Could be the relay underneath your steering wheel casin.A 3 pin relay it is,try a new 1.
Take it out for a min,then put it back in and press ya hazard switch see if it works again.
Ive since replaced mine with a B/N 1 and all it fine

thankyou, ill tyr the relay tommorrow.

i'm also having trouble finding someone with the 3 pin diagnostic equipment i can live with it, but will be difficult to sell!

 

[xander_trippin]

A Fiat dealer will have the 3 pin diagnostic connector. Its the best option if you cant find a garage locally who can do it.

I also had trouble with that.I went to kwik fit to get a Diag read as its free...couldnt manage it..Altho they did check for the Lambda sensor only.

Yer as above,I was gona go Fiat but didnt need to in the end.I found my problem out.Every1 said try the MAF..
And it was my maf at fault..Unplugged it,cleaned the lil spades,plugged it back in.. and it went off..It didnt come on again...well untill my car died lol

 

[xander_trippin]

Only went to fiat to get mine done as their the only ones round by me who can read it. I would never get work done there as they rip you off. They said i had a hole in my radiator and it was leaking like a waterfall. Load of rubbish. Took it to my regular garage and couldnt find a thing.

 

[MickeyBravo]

ya rad was leaking?! eh how would that bring a error light up lol
Thats the thing with Fiat they tell ya loada crap and charge over the earth lol....then again,who doesnt
Just wish garages would be truthful about things

 

[xander_trippin]

Ive nearly come to blows with them a few times. Always seem to not really care unless u own a New Punto,bravo or 500. Always try to get me to buy one. Plus their horrible ppl. They must rip so many ppl off who dont know about cars very much.

 

[MickeyBravo]

Did you get yaself a new relay mate?

Mike

 

[midge]

no i didnt yet, wheres the relay? is it underneath all the fuse's? how do i know whitch relay it is? they do work sometimes, but most of the time they dont

 

[MickeyBravo]

undernath ya stereo wheel casing..Theres 3 screws..Once thats off ya cant miss it,its blue
I got BN 1 but wasnt blue,was black..was an aftermarket one..
But i didnt like the way it 'ticked',seemed slower and sounded differently but £6 from A1 Motorcare,i cudnt moan..should last a lot more years,rather than a second hand 1 to go at any time..
