I had a flat battery due to alternator failure. Partially charging the battery got me to a local (non Fiat) garage. At this stage the boot would not open with remote or manually. Alternator was changed and I was advised extra time was added to reprogram various functions. Electric windows was one of the things mentioned.
The boot now only opens with the remote. The garage has offered to have look at this but being non Fiat I am worried that they may not have access to systems to fix this.
I have taken the switch out and there are 2 wires. The micro switch operates and I get a short using a meter. I also put a short back on the perm wiring and nothing happens.
I went to a small independant Fiat dealer, unfortunately the service manager was out, told them the above, but they think its the switch.
Previous post have people getting charged for a switch and a software
update which make me think that fitting a switch is the first and easy option then when that doesnt work its fixed by software.
Is this a software problem due to my electric going down?
