Fiat Bravo electrical issues
Summary of the thread
A 2000 Fiat Bravo is experiencing random error messages, radio or satnav failures, and a flashing 'service required' light, indicating potential electrical issues. The problem is linked to a control module error, possibly due to a faulty connection to the BUS system. A similar issue in another vehicle was resolved by addressing a corroded connector, suggesting that professional inspection and repair are advisable.

Yeah, it's throwing a code related to the control module, but nothing super specific. BUS system connection, huh? Where exactly should I be looking for that connection?

Honestly, I'm no expert, and the BUS system can be tricky to diagnose. In my Renault, it was a corroded connector behind the dashboard somewhere. It caused all sorts of havoc. I wouldn't start tearing things apart yourself. I'd recommend a workshop look at it. It's probably a defective cable connection of the control unit (connection to the BUS system)

Right, thanks. I feared that. I'll take it to a workshop. The cost was 155€ in your case, right? So I can estimate something like that. Thanks for your help!

Whoa, that sounds frustrating! I had a similar gremlin with my old Renault Megane. The symptoms sound almost identical: flickering warning lights and system failures. For me, it turned out to be a dodgy connection to the BUS system. Is yours showing anything specific on the OBD-II reader? Maybe a specific code?
