Horn not working fiat punto active but not fuse - any suggestions?

It is important to have a horn working for safety reasons. If the fuse or relay is working then it would be best to check the clock spring behind the vehicles steering wheel.

How do you change rear lights on a Fiat Punto?

Changing a Punto rear lampThere are two bolts to be unfastened to release the whole of the rear light cluster. The first is inside the car, just to the side above the top of the rear seat. The bolt can be unfastened using the plastic tool which is in in the boot with the spare wheel. Also, this bolt may be covered with a plastic clip, to match the vinyl at the rear of the car. The second bolt is hidden inside the boot; the 'carpet' in the boot may need to be pulled back near the rear light cluster. Once the two bolts have been removed (with care, don't drop them down the cavity), the rear light cluster can be removed. Next, unclip the plug to the light cluster so that it can be removed. Finally, unscrew the rear of the light cluster (four screws) and replace the bulb. This has to be the worst design ever and makes changing a lamp quite a hastle!

Where is the bonnet release on a 2004 punto?

If the level is slack, then the bonnet release cable has snapped.


You'll have to jack the car up, and access / pull the cable from underneath.


I jacked up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath.


I've videoed it - quick to do once you see it.

What does city mean on the dashboard of your fiat punto?

It means that "City Mode" or "City Steering" is active.

This is a mode that applies additional electronic assistance to the steering, making it lighter and more responsive, especially useful for tight manouevers at speeds under 35mph.

There will usually be a button marked "City" or with a steering wheel icon on the dashboard that will toggle this setting on and off.

Why would a 1996 Fiat Punto shudder at the front end when pulling off?

I would say the gearbox is on the way out as i had the same problem and i had to replace the gearbox. and as you have a Mk1 Fiat Punto gearboxes are plentyful and cheap. but decide this age of car value of car and millage. and ask your self is it realy worth it as 1996 P reg puntos are only worth ?4-500. and it will cost you ?150-200 to replace the gearbox. Shudder can be caused by a defective clutch assembly And or broken/weak engine or gearbox mountings

Why does your fiat punto 1.9d 2001 not rev properly once started?

has it been filled with the correct fuel???

Sorry, seriously, it could be any number of problems, but a common issue is the "Mass Air Flow Meter" which is located in the air intake system to the engine and sits next to the Battery just rearward of the air filter box. A quick test is to disconnect the electrical connector on this unit and try the vehicle again. I have been running a 1.9JTD with this sensor disconnected for over 7 months now and the economy and performance are better than it has ever been. It flew through MoT last month as far as emissions are concerned with the comment of "it must be running on fresh air" from the tester!!

Hope this helps
