Fiat 500 instrument cluster removal 

Glad it helped

Hi, I paid Cartronix £250 but that was a while ago. My display was completely gone but not sure about your issue, have you checked all external bulbs as the displays sometimes do odd things when you have a faulty or blown bulb. Check brake lights, fog lights, reverse, headlamps, etc. I am sure I had some strange issues with warnings and found a bulb gone.

@@MLTOPAYNE thanks for the tip. I asked my daughter who lives on her own to check all the lights and she says they are ok. I was was concerned about the oil and asked her to check this urgently, again ok. At night she says the other warning lights are very dim. I will see her at half term as she is a teacher and check everything myself. 👍

@@jonathanmellish4439 I hope you sort it out, funny, same colour, my daughter owns the green 500 and she is at Uni training to be…. a teacher! 👍🏻

@@MLTOPAYNE cheers. Good luck to her. My daughter is in her 2nd year and finding it very tough but to be fair the school has some issues to be honest.

I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me

@Zaiden Demetrius I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

Depends whether you're left or right handed!

If it’s just a jump lead from another car battery then I guess it must be ok. The issue with charger is the stop start battery needs the use of a smart charger, this is what damages the instrument display if the battery sensor is connected. The battery sensor can be unplugged really easily so if your not sure just disconnect it then plug it back in, but if just a 12V supply via jump lead it should be fine.

Pleasure, you can send for repair but I have seen a site which sells the display if you fancy changing it yourself. I would have done it but found out after it was already repaired.

My daughters car needs a similar repair. Although its a common fault the workshop guy at the dealership denied all knowledge. Hmm.

Good question, the honest answer is I cannot remember but as far as I recall I just left the ignition turned off. The only thing electrical is unplugging the display which is not going to cause any issues so I don’t think I disconnected the battery.

@@MLTOPAYNE thanks for the reply Martin, have to do a swap for the printed white kmph to mph/kmph circular strip for an import, it comes with the warning light panel around the outside so means dismantling it from the central digital display and replacing rather than just fixing it over the original. So this video has been really helpful to save some money, thank you!

Cartronix in Waterlooville. They did it the same day, if your happy to have a go yourself I later found someone selling the parts and has a video showing how to replace the parts.

The parts seem to be available from www.akspeedo.com and they have a video showing how the parts are replaced, about £69. I can’t confirm if any good as I used Cartronix.
