Fault on instrument waring lights

[Howard B]

I appear to have an earth fault on the dash of my 2016 Fiat Ducato. With the ignition on and engine running ( drivers seatbelt unclipped), the TPMS & front fog warning lights are on at probably 30% illumination of the seatbelt warning light. When i clip the seatbelt in, all lights extinguish. I dont have TPMS or front fogs fitted.
When i get home on Saturday , ill pull the dash out and check the connections & give it a spray with an electrical contact spray. Any other thoughts on cause?

We have a 2015 Ducato based motorhome. The instrument panel has developed a fault in that, when engaging cruise control, as well as the "cruise control on" light the following warning lights illuminate, though at only half their normal brightness, Front passenger airback off Front brake pads...

I had a 2014 Autosleeper on a Peugeot chassis, similar problem, random warning lights coming on. It was a known fault at that time, instrument cluster was replaced under warranty , I thought they had solved the problem by now. The Peugeot dealer said it was caused by condensation getting into the cluster, who knows

As it is such a well known fault, we had it one of our motorhome, I would check with a FIAT Professional dealership if FIAT will replace FOC or make a contribution.

I believe that as it is a manufacturing fault you may have a claim under consumer legislation. Some of the posters on the Forum will have much more knowledge of the legal situation than I do. Hopefully someone may come along with proper advice.

Prob easier & quicker to spend £150 & get a lifetime guarantee.

At least it will be guaranteed for life, unlike the FIAT replacement.

I just don’t like to see large corporations avoiding their responsibilities.
