Hi My Fiat 500 3013 has had the flashing odo and a battery drain since buying it a year ago. I bought MES and an ELM and three cables, red, yellow, green. I have used them on my laptop to scan the information on modules, cancel any codes etc. Then used it to reset the auto transmission(green cable) and got the clutch working well after fitting a new clutch and transmission input bearing and seal. All good now, driving well after quite a bit of work ! Generally the car is driving well and all normal functions work correctly I believe except for the Blue and Me functions.
So I ordered a B & M module which was said to be a new old stock unit. I installed it but it did not fix any problems. So I attempted to do a Proxy Alignment but the MES cannot connect to the Body module. So I reconnected the old module but same result. And the same result with no module connected I have tried using the ELM direct, and the red and green cables as well as the yellow. The body module must be there and working because the locking and remote work as well as the other simple functions. Note the battery has been disconnected for extended time, several times with no effect except work to reset the date etc.
After more reading I did check the fuses in the engine compartment and found one blown F85 15A and replaced it, but no change ?? What does that fuse do anyway as nothing seemed to change. MES still will not find the body module. I cannot do a PA as it cannot get to the first step. What could be wrong. Does the body module fail and is it the under bonnet fuse and relay unit. What happens to them. Would my cable be faulty. Any suggestions please.
