Some Fiat 500 owners report experiencing intermittent warning lights for the electrical system, which may be linked to loose connections or fuse problems. These inconsistent warning lights can lead to starting issues due to a loose connection to the 12V system. Additionally, major electrical problems may manifest as various warning messages on the dashboard, including oil light and headlight issues, and can even result in the engine cutting out while driving. The brake system warning light can indicate sensor malfunctions when yellow and significant braking system issues when red. Furthermore, the service electric vehicle system warning light may signal underlying electric system issues that require professional diagnosis and repair. Potential causes for these intermittent faults include battery issues, earth strap problems, or airbag ECU complications. It is recommended that affected owners have their Fiat 500 inspected by a qualified technician to effectively address these concerns.
