Thank you so much for sharing this info. We are in a couple of weeks to be travelling around in EU for an early summer vacation. Having seen this I know what is going on when the symptoms have presented themselves, and I realize I must carry an OBD reader with me in the car. Great, and this proves to me we are stronger together than acting alone.
Many thanks for your video Afram, you are the hero of the day. Got stuck this afternoon in a viaduct in Porto after a big pothole. Waiting 4 hours for someone to pull us away. Before they arrived I found the button (the manual was not clear to me, your video was!) Keep on the good work! 🫶🏼👏
Hello I also had the same problem, only I have an older model of fiat Ducato 2005 and it is not the same, please help me where the switch off button could be
We had this frightening experience yesterday in the rain on a highway bypass due to flooded roads. We hit a massive pothole and completely lost power as you described. We were lucky to get off the road but only just. There is no mention of this switch that we could find in the handbook. We had to google it...lucky we had service. Couldn't locate it but luckily(for us) a Fiat pulled up behind us. It had hit same pothole and had same issue. Fortunately the driver knew where it was and got us on the road again.
Oh gosh that was scary, and not one but two Ducatos downed! Was your switch located in a similar position to the video here? If not, kindly let us know where it is. Thanks. This is useful info for Ducato owners.
@@VanHacks yes it is in the same position. But it took me a while to find it. Curiously the message on dash said to check manual for fuel cut off with - not under F for fuel but under E for Electrical Power switch and fuse cut off !! I am spreading the word to fellow Fiat owners I know. Thanks
Hi great video. I have a 2011 Ducati 160 multi jet that has just had a clutch replacement. Drove 30 kms and parked up. No further travel. Upon trying to start vehicle the amber car with padlock symbol came on. Engine turns over but won’t fire. Any help would be great. Thanks Barry
Hi - Do you gave the fault code for the fuel cut off? I bought an OBD II reader as suggested - thank you - but the instructions don't show that as any of the listed codes. Thanks and much appreciate your channel!!
This is what happened to my car now. I hope the problem is confined to here. Until now, the workshop bill has exceeded a thousand euros, without result.
Heres a good tip, i have hidden my O B D socket, and replaced it with a dummy, that is still connected to 12 volts, so the key cloners cant understand why there is no can, its easy to do. lol.
Thank you for that mate.
As a new owner of a Fiat ducato motor home.
This information is very useful
I knew there was a fuel cut off switch but I had no idea where it was. Thanks for making the video.
Glad to help
Very good tip. Many thanks. Saw a motorhome owner on TH-cam who had this situation in the middle of nowhere in Greece after going over a pothole.
so happy this video has helped heaps of people!
Thankyou so much for educating me
Yep happened to us today. We hit a pot whole engine stopped found your video was able to reset it thanks mate
Super pleased to hear it was helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for the post, have heard of that before when someone drove over a pot hole 👍🏻🇬🇧
You bet
Yes happened to someone recently while he was doing a 100kmh
Mate you just saved us. Hit a pothole at 100kms an hour and the whole thing shut down. Watched your clip and off she went. Saved us
Awesome - glad you were off and running again! :)

Thankyou just saved myself a load of stress👍
Thanks for that, never knew about this.
Best explanation I saw, thank you 👏🙏
You are welcome!
Would you be able to do a step by step video on how to use this reader.
I will try and remember to video the next time the same problem crops up again. But I haven't had any issues since.
You just saved me too. Thank you so so much
Thank you for sharing this - I hope I never need it 😊
You’re welcome 😊

Omg that so important video thank you
You're so welcome!
Do you know which year they started adding these? I have a 2011 Ducato.
Hi great video. I have a 2011 Ducati 160 multi jet that has just had a clutch replacement. Drove 30 kms and parked up. No further travel. Upon trying to start vehicle the amber car with padlock symbol came on. Engine turns over but won’t fire. Any help would be great. Thanks Barry
Sorry to hear that, and sorry I only saw this message two weeks late! Hope its all sorted. Thanks and regards.
hi where are you located?
What age is your ducato?would my 05 ducato have this?(im not looking now its 11.30pm!)
Page 63 of the manual. Does a lot more. unlocks doors, hazard lights etc etc.
They can stop the fuel leaking when the car is in a crash but they can't stop water leak from the windshield down into the engine bay 😂 Bravo Fiat.
Thank amazing informacion,congrat's from Portugal
