Fiat Toro 2015 Experiencing Flickering Lights and Warning Indicator Issues

Hey car enthusiasts, I've got a 2015 Fiat Toro, Gasoline, clocking in at 197811 km. Recently, it's been acting up with the lights flickering and the speedo's warning light coming on. I'm thinking it could be a bulb issue? Frankly, my last trip to the local mechanic was a disaster, so I'm trying to avoid a repeat. Has anyone dealt with similar woes and got it sorted? Your advice would be really appreciated! Cheers.

Summary of the thread

A 2015 Fiat Toro is experiencing flickering lights and a warning indicator issue. The initial thought was a bulb problem, but a similar case with a Fiat Panda revealed a defective cable connection to the lamp due to vibrations and wear. The suggested solution is to check the cable connections, as this is a common issue with aging electronics, and to consult a trusted mechanic for a reliable fix.

Hey there, Sounds like you're having a rough time! I had a similar issue with my 2012 Fiat Panda. Initially, I thought it was a minor glitch or maybe a bulb problem. But in reality, it turned out to be a cable connection issue with the lamp. Being a non-mechanic guy, I took it to my trusted garage and they discovered the cable connecting to the lamp was defective. Apparently, the vibrations and normal wear and tear had caused this, so it needed replacement. While I initially thought it was a serious issue, my mechanic assured me it was pretty common, especially with our model of car due to its aging electronics. Lesson learned, always check for the simplest possibilities first before jumping to big conclusions. Good luck with the fix!

Hey. Wow, thanks for the head's up! A cable connection issue huh? Never would have guessed that one. Out of curiosity, do you recall around how much that set you back? And post that, any weird light flickering or other issues come your way? Really appreciate your insight, cheers!

Hey! I hear ya, I was just as surprised! As for the cost, it cost me around 180 Euro to get that pesky cable connection to the lamp sorted. Not the cheapest fix but hey, at least it did the trick. Since then, no more flickering lights or defective bulb issues for me! It runs like a charm now. I reckon it's worth going to a mechanic you trust to get it checked out, even after that last unfortunate one. Stay safe on the road, and happy driving! Cheers.

Hello again, Great, 180 Euro - well, it's not that bad if it's going to fix the problem right? I really appreciate you sharing your experience, and I'll definitely try and find a reliable mechanic this time round to take a look at that cable. So glad your Panda's not giving you any more issues! Your advice has helped me big time. Cheers and happy motoring to you too!
