Lights are turning on
Error in the lighting

Hey, thanks for your input. My Stilo has a gasoline engine, and there hasn't been any big incidents or changes recently. Other than the lights going berserk out of the blue, the car's been running smoothly as it did after its latest service at 33573 km. Hopefully, it's a minor issue like yours, fingers crossed I won't have to shell out mucho dinero. Got any more clues? Cheers for the support.
Hey, always glad to help out a fellow Fiat owner! Your situation honestly sounds super similar to what happened with my Punto. Given your car is running smoothly otherwise, it's highly likely that the problem's associated solely with the lighting system. This could be a result of an electrical short or something similarly annoying but not too severe. If you're lucky, it could even just be a loose connection somewhere. Like I said earlier, my issue turned out to be a faulty plug connection, and it was a pretty straightforward, inexpensive fix. The one thing I'd propose before you head to the mechanic is to just have a quick check of all your fuses, relays, and the wiring associated with the lights. If you notice anything visibly off (like a blown fuse or worn out wires), you'll save money on diagnostics down at the workshop. Also, if the wiring and everything else seems fine, it might indeed be an issue with the Light Switch Function. I'd say, get the car to the garage and have them run a comprehensive systems check. Keep me posted! Cheers.
Wow! You've been a big help. I'm definitely going to check the fuses and wiring before I take it into the shop. I've got some rudimentary knowledge about the car's electricals and your explanation gave me a better understanding. If it's above my pay-grade, the trip to the mechanic is inevitable I guess. I'm hopeful I'll be as lucky as you were with your Punto. I'll keep you posted on the outcomes. Thanks a ton. Cheers!
Hey there, I ran into a pretty similar situation with my '06 Fiat Punto. Not a car guru per se, but I tinker around a little. My local workshop first checked the wiring and noticed a faulty plug connection. It was a simple fix, didn't break the bank either, costing me around 222€. To be sure, can you tell me a bit more about your Stilo? Maybe the engine type or anything specific you've noticed related to this issue? Then, hopefully, I might be able to share some more insights.
