I'm on my 3rd Jtd Stilo multi wagon. I love them. You certainly don't need to take the steering wheel out to get the dash out. I have done it twice now. It's a proper good mile muncher the stilo.
90% of all faults on the Fiat stilo are in the motor control box, it sits on many models on top of the engine and gets very hot, it makes the two big plug connection become very bad, the small legs in the plug get loose in the soldering and disappear into the board, it can cause many strange errors.
Sandy, you can't imagine how much of these pieces of shit i've had to deal with here in Italy. The only good thing about these stilos are the jtd engines
Any luck fixing this? I have the same issue but my cluster display stays on throwing faults. Check out video I took. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RZVdnVeqzKM.html
