Yeah, I checked the switch visually, seems okay, but I haven't gone deeper than that. When you had this, was it definitely the switch? Was it an easy fix, or did you need special tools or knowledge? Any hints before I start tearing things apart?

In my case, it was indeed the clutch pedal switch. I tried fiddling with it myself, but honestly, I ended up taking it to a workshop. Best to have them diagnose it properly. My symptoms were identical, so it's highly likely. Don't risk causing more damage.

Thanks for the confirmation and the advice. I'll get it checked out by a professional then. Knowing it's likely the switch and an electrical fault helps a lot. I appreciate it! Ended up costing 95€, like you predicted.

Hey! I have a Stilo too, and what you describe sounds very familiar. I had almost identical symptoms a while back. Did you check the switch itself? It could be an electrical fault that's messing with the safety mechanism, preventing the car from starting and causing all those errors.
