  • So there's not much info on this not cranking over fault, this is purely an age related/build quality fault on this model, newer models probably won't suffer with this as later models are different.

    Thank you ssooooo much for this video. My husband and I have been looking for a solution for 2 weeks now. We even changed the starter and some fuses without success. Your video saved us to get the car towed to the garage (who aren't used to repair Fiat and would have charged an arm and a leg). What a small piece that has a huge impact on the whole mechanic.

      Hola, buen día. ¿Dónde colocaron esa correa?, no lo alcanzo a percibir bien en el video, pero me gustaría saber si fue un mecánico o ustedes mismos lo realizaron.
      ¿La correa donde se compró?

    Good to find your post as we have the same problem on 10 plate. I had already changed the earth strap but it did not solve our problem. We still have a car which randomly decides not to start. Period of standing still makes no difference. We generally leave the car for 30 mins and it will start. Anyone with any suggestions

    Hello thank you for your explanation. could you tell me does the fiat 500 require the specific earth strap for fiat 500 or we can go to auto parts shop and buy a normal ground strap? Thank you!

    Thanks for the video. Did the car give any faults on the display ? E.g. Fuel cut off not available - see handbook ? I have a 2008 Fiat 500 that won't crank but I get several faults on the display. Will check the earth wire ... Never had any problems before with this car.

      Yes, it did have faults displayed on the dashboard & it did have a fuel cut off error at one point, I can recall an abs fault also.

    Had this today, Fuel-cuttoff unavailable on the display. Wouldn't crank. Was stuck in the middle of nowhere luckily AA guy knew of the common fault and replaced it. Such a poor part the OEM one, just fell to bits.

    There's not a lot of information on here or on the Internet regarding this problem, hopefully this is a simple fix for this model.

      It's all about the earth/ground strap going from the chassis to the engine under the battery, give it a pull, I did that & it dissintergrated in my hand.
