fiat multipla front door

Okay pop off the speaker grill (carefully fiat plastic trim is fragile Seems to be a little bit more brittle than other makes). Undo the retaining screws remove the speaker and unclip the connector. Undo the bolts holding the door handle plastic module and remove the handle from the wire locking rod. disconnect the electric window switch and this should separate from the panel. Get a very thin screwdriver

Just finished removing the passenger door fitting went well got a bit stumped trying to remove the handle itself from the rod I got it off eventually and assume the clip you mention is the 90 degree plastic clip at the end of the rod If not then it wasnt on. Anyway all cleaned up and replaced and working like a treat As I was on dinner duties tonight I shall complete the other three tomorrow Again many thanks

on I obviously cant see what Im doing as I have to put my arm in. I sort of had it once but when I closed the door it opened slightly and then wouldnt open again. I have to get in through the passenger door now but that too has gone on me but rather than the arm coming out with the handle I am unable to connect the handle correctly to the arm which is in place......Should I just take it to a fiat

It gone from bad to worse..I have managed to snap the passenger front door exterior handle trying to attach it to the actuator arm......down tools time.......

fix a couple of niggling bitty faults. I fixed the front interior light pod last weekend (usual sticking of switches dodgy connections etc) but I still cant get the interior lights to switch on when I open the nearside rear door. It also doesnt indicate on the dash as a door open so I presume the door switch isnt working. Problem is I cant see an obvious switch in the door post etc as on older fiats

I have a 2001 multipla and live in Portugal. My door rubbers are just starting to come off in fact the drivers door one has totally split now but as my car is 11 years old I would like to replace them does anyone know where I can buy new ones. I need both front door rubbers rear doors are fine.

Hi widemouthfrog is ace on here and I reckon hes right - two unrelated problems. Re the airbag light Im 62 and my wifes 52. Our airbag light was always on as the drivers seat was constantly being moved back and forth a good way. Lots of duck tape keeping the wireconnection under the drivers seat securetight to the seat frame fixed this for us. Re the door open light on the dash I understand (Im no

Thanks for all your advice. I seem to have cured it but not sure what was the problem. I cleaned and lubricarted all door latches took off the the front door cards and lubricated moving parts and wd40d the door lock buttons. This also cured the tailgate not wanting to open with either the button on the boot or button by handbrake.

The lock is different on the nosejob the front ns door lock failed and I got an ugly bug lock from a scrappy. The door open microswitch is incorporated in the new lock whereas its not in the old lock. Its a bit of slog to get the old lock out anyway so having done it Im going to live with a non operative switch on one door. FWIW lock barrel is relatively easy to get out which hopefully is the only part youll need if you go for the door option.

does a car become unreliable. Reliability index polls take into account such things as door not opening annoying yes but in no way a measure of the cars ability to let you downleave you stranded This is a argument we have had many times on the forum one of the forum members is actually a part of these reliability polls and if you strip them right down to (what I believe) a actual breakdown fiats

I just recently bought a very cheap 2001 the front seat would not fold down so armed with a hammer a wooden block and a star spanner I freed it works a treat now trouble is the back door rattles like fk adjusted it but it still does it...are these cars infuriating or endearing

Plenty of advice on here about airbag light First places to check are orange connectors under front seats (undo spray with contact cleaner push back together) if no joy then the one that did fixed my airbag light was the orange one on the rear driver side light cluster- pop off the trim undo connector clean put back together Good luck

I have a JTD 115 its a great car but i have recently developed a problem with the front electric windows and the central locking. Basically the windows wont come down (the back ones work) I have checked the fuse under the oddments tray and theyre fine nothing blown there does anyone have any ideas what else it could be Also the central locking isnt working either by pressing the button on the key (all this does is activate the alarm) or when you put the key in a the door and turn it. I would be most grateful if anyone has any ideas regarding this I have recently purchased the CD on how to repair a multipla i just need to know where to start Thanks in advance Pat If its a factory fit Alarm it may be the unit itself that has failed. According to fiat its behind the front bumper. I suspect the front Bumper will have to be removed to get at it.

Check your passenger seat for the airbag tag - sometimes its sewn in to the seam of the backrest side bolster near the door pillarseat belt. If its not there you probably dont have side airbags. Im not sure what date they were fitted from. The other airbag that can flag the fault youre talking about is the one in the dashboard in front of the passenger seat. Have a look at this thread httpwww.fiatforum.commultipla32...-sensor-3.html

Does your multipla have rear disc brakes (Some did for a while and then they reverted to drums like the earlier models for some reason). A disc brake gets hot very quickly. If the handbrake is applied when the discs are hot as they cool (and contract) the brake pads are not pressed so tightly against the disc. This used to be a real problem to the drivers of Citroens esp the BX like I had where the

[quotelenivec1317186] hello can someone help me i am buying a multipla and want to know some mesurements. is it possible to put surfboard in it. lenght 270cm or what is the max lenght from dash to boot doors.[ quote] Assuming the front middle seat is taken out or replaced with a fridge the maximum length possible with the rear centre seat folded flat is 220cm. You might squeeze another few centimeters

Oblong sounds like youve nailed the sound system in the multipla. Ive just acquired one for a European rally in a few monta and desperately need some good tunes in there. Ive replaced the head unit and the 17cm speakers in the front door. But would love some advice regarding the tweeters rear door speakers and potentially adding a small bass unit. What have you used as replacements Any recommendations for a suitable small woofer All advice appreciated greatly. Tim

that handbrakes are supposed to be on or off . Mind you a light should come on in the instrument cluster too. It did bleep a lot once just before the alternator packed up - a warranty job thankfully Normally the dash display will flash a message when the computer bleeps. Have you got a manual for your multi It might say something in there. Cheers Lee Originally Posted by kawasakikz1 I won my multipla

Hi again. A poster on another Multi forum has said that this breakers yard has a 03 multipla being broken. front end smashed but everything from the doors backwards supposedly fine. May be worth a bell but I know its miles from you. Hainford Hall Motor Salvage Hall Road Hainford Norwich Norfolk NR10 3LX Tel 01603 898197 Fax 01603 890825 Hope this helps

Its possible that either the fuse or relay has failed. However I didnt think that fiat would fuse each window separately. Usually the fronts would share the same fuse and I wouldnt be surpised if the fronts shared the same fuse as the rears (althopugh possibly not if the lower range models have manual windows in the back) Anyroad enough of the waffling. It may also be that the window has come off its
