Barchetta Electric Steering Column Fault
Summary of the thread
A 2004 Fiat Barchetta has an electric steering column adjustment fault, with diagnostics indicating a defective cable or plug. The issue was resolved by checking the connection block under the steering wheel column cover for corroded or loose wires. The problem was confirmed as a defective cable connection, which was repaired at a workshop.

I didn't notice any noises. Could you be more specific about which wires?

I'm no expert, but for me, it was the connection block under the steering wheel column cover. Remove it and check for corroded or loose wires. But I also agree with the workshop guy: don't force it, take it to a workshop!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I proceeded with caution and it was exactly what you and the error log said: A defective cable connection which the shop repaired for 95€.

Hey! I own a Barchetta too. Did it make weird noises before it died? Check the fuses first, then wiggle some wires. Might save you money!
