I have serious electrical problems with my Fiat Stilo!

My Fiat Stilo keeps displaying warnings that I have bulb failures when I don't. All fittings etc. checked by an electrical engineer. Also when I only put on front wiper rear comes on and sometimes when I put my electric window up it goes down! Help

Hi Sandra,

The Stilo is well known for its electrical gremlins I'm afraid and it's impossible to diagnose from afar. Even a good automotive electrician may not easily trace the source of your woes. In this instance we'd advise you to bring the car to a Fiat main dealer, as they will have seen the symptoms before and should quickly get to the root of the problem.

It's likely that there's an issue with the car's wiring loom, which is difficult to pinpoint.

Sorry not to be of more assistance.
