Sedici antenna issues

My 2008 Fiat Sedici, gasoline engine, is having issues. Error memory is storing faults, locking/unlocking fails sometimes, and the engine won't start without the key in the ignition. Could this be the bumper antenna? I suspect a defective cable or plug.

Summary of the thread

A 2008 Fiat Sedici was experiencing issues with error memory storing faults, intermittent locking/unlocking, and the engine not starting without the key in the ignition. These problems were suspected to be related to a defective bumper antenna or its cable. After visiting a workshop, it was confirmed that the antenna connection was the cause, and repairing it resolved all the issues.

I had a similar issue on my Fiat Sedici. Is the radio signal weaker? Sounds like the vehicle antenna. Have you checked the antenna cable?

The radio signal is poor. Did you attempt antenna repair yourself, or seek professional help?

Given the symptoms, especially the starting issue, I'd advise a workshop visit instead of DIY. It could be a more serious electrical fault. If it's the antenna, the antenna mount may be the problem affecting the signal and the car's electronics.

Thanks, I took it to a workshop. It was the antenna connection. The antenna repair cost 95€. All issues are resolved.
