my car won't start. I bought the car in May this year. I drove it for a month and then something bad started. The first very irritating feature was the common steering wheel lock which was very difficult to unlock. that was the least of the problems. In the morning I did the shopping, picked up the parcels, got to work every time turning off the car. I got in the car, of course, the standard steering lock but something was wrong. the car wouldn't start. finally ended up calling a tow truck. he went to the mechanic on the same day who said that the ignition cube had broken and had been replaced. the car started normally. Everything worked fine for two days in a row. The next day I went back to work and in the afternoon the same problem appeared. mechanic came to the site, checked the battery, hooked it up to the cables and nothing happened. in the final, he tried firing it directly into the starter motor. the car started. The car started fine in the morning and in the afternoon it started having problems. in the final, the battery, grounding straps, starter, ignition cube were replaced, the ignition was handed over to a specialist company dealing with regeneration. the computer does not show any error, we checked all the cables. 3 mechanics gave me a faulty car each time. the patient is a fiat 500 1.4 dualogic 500 petrol. I'm out of ideas.
 
It is normal that once key turned to operate starter motor you have to turn it all the way back to off before trying to start again.

Dualogic

Does the display read N for gearbox in neutral when you are trying to start ?

If gearbox not in neutral the starter motor is blocked from working.
 
I wonder if it's had a new ignition lock and either the immobiliser sensor or ignition switch are faulty which would tie in with difficulty operating the steering lock?
we just checked if the ignition switch works properly. it had been cleaned and more than the ignition cube was not replaced. Car goes to MAR and on AVV nothing… something block start engine but we cant find solution
