Fiat Punto 1.2 Active not cranking no codes. Starter motor? Yes, and no...

[@stevehayes6661]

In a previous job I used to fit those boxes for poor customer finance companies. They immobilise the car on non payment and send gps signal for repossession guys. They send last position on disconnect too. Great fix video. I always check for box if no feed to starter keep up the great work

Great as always. When I watched the video the "start/stop relay". I don't think it's for a start/stop circuit. I was reading the options available and it looks like it's literally a screen to actually test the relays/circuits on the car

Hi which one is the starter motor relay ? Got issue, nothing happens or heard clinking, so garage replaced starter and it started first time but after that nothing, now sometimes starts but sometimes nothing, sometimes screeching from starter area, don’t know what the issue is. Checked the relay but that’s ok so don’t know what it is

[@CubasAutomotive]

Awesome video Luis! A 2 part diag... would've never thought the starter would be wired in incorrectly. Good find there! The GPS "thing" was a little unexpected. I made it to the end... so the battery was ultra low, which makes sense due to the key on testing. Fantastic video! 😊😊

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Thanks Cuba! Yes... was a few things on this one... But got there in the end! 👍👍👍

[@peterdatechmen5506]

Over the years have found that when an owner doesn't volunteer the previous repairs detail on book in, that they usually had some involvement themselves or a friend who becomes a mechanic for the sake of the story. What mechanic would replace a starter without testing ignition and 12 vt feeds, manual crank etc? Usually I then find when questioned they cannot recall the name of said garage, mechanic or have invoice. It was a parts fitter that got stumped by electrical 101I would suggest.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

[@habitandoproperty2166]

Someone change the starter motor... Thought it was the problem. They don't found the black box... Connected very bad and , nothing changes. At the moment, they're brought the car to you... From the beginning, the problem was on the black box. IMHO Change the battery as well. I apologize for my English, but I'm an Italian mechanic. Thanks for your video.

Great video! I have a problem with no cranking after I did: 1. Reset self-learning function, 2. Self-adaptation reset and 3. Phonic wheel learn with Multiecuscan 4.5 on my Fiat Punto Evo 1.2. I had never had a problem with not cranking. Even before to execute those resets the car had started perfectly. Would you suggest to me where the problem could be? The Multiecuscan software indicate that the battery voltage is 11.6V. Is it possible to be a problem or I did something wrong to the car ECU and there is no signal to the starter? Thank you very much!

fiat group is the worst brand on the planet. full of electrical problems and very poor and cheap stupid design. these days I replaced a seized engine in an Opel Insignia 2.0 CDI with a fiat engine inside. problem was the oil pump gasket between the oil pump and the oil pickup. somehow those genius in fiat mounted a rubber gasket to compensate a +5mm gap. that gasket will shrink over time and the pump will suck air and the oil will produce foam with inherent oil pressure lost and seized main bearings. the engine was replaced and we mounted a circular flange (custom built) between oil pump and the pickup. I used to love the fiat group for their rally heritage with the Delta Integrale , but after being involved in motorsport with that particular car I lived only horror stories like .... after an gravel special stage the delta chassis will bend big time cause made of tinfoil ... chocolate engines and transmissions too .... I know chocolate is good but this one was expensive. .... now I have 3 Honda`s in my garage and spleep well at ninght and have some money to go on holiday too :)

I came from a family who all drove Fiat. My first Fiat was a Uno, after that the classsic old Panda..(i owned 11 of them in total, also one with 315.000km on the clock with the original engine, repaired 2 gaskets) also had a Punto 188 model without problems.. In 2010 i bought a Fiat Panda 169, in the 3 years i owned only mechanical problems, no electric problems. after that: Fiat Panda 2005 Diesel: Molted connector on the BSI causing electric problem, ECU problems and short to ground. Fiat Doblo 2006 Diesel: EGR, DPF, timing belt, starters relay Fiat Panda 4x4 2004: Molted connector Fiat Panda 4x4 Cross 2005 Diesel: Molted connector, damaged BSI, Alternater, a lot of sensors, Timing chain broke on 182.000km (fiat suggest replacement on 200.000), replaced the motor for a new one with 99.000km on it. that was 2400km ago but all is OK now and we are happy with it. I also own a Fiat Tipo 1995 without any fancy electronic and runs fine But yeah, Fiat are verry bad with electrics and the scary thing is, PSA group is getting more and more Fiat electrics in it so more electric problems will come in the future (but thats money for us ;-) )
