Punto "lights check" warning
Andrew Stevens 12 April 2005 12:12:02
	I have a niggling problem with my 2000 model Punto ELX. The dashboard amber warning light for "lights check" stays on continuously when I have either side,dipped or full beams lights switched on. The handbook states that this is meant to signify a blown bulb or other voltage problem with the external lights, however all this has been thoroughly checked and no problems have been foundВ…В…В…В…В….. does anyone have any further suggestions? Many thanks in advance, Ps.I did think of just simply disconnecting the warning light, however the unit is sealed!

My car is a 2000 Sporting and the same warninglight comes on now and then when i hit the brakes, but there's nothing wrong. When ik took it to my dealer to have it diagnosed there seems to be nothing wrong either. So i don't mind then... By the way, have you changed a lightbulb (front/rear main lights including licenceplate) which has not the right amount of watts? This can cause your problem. Some Punto's have 10 watt lightbulbs in the rear lights and others 5 watts. If not, take it to a Fiat dealership to have a diagnose. Success.

	Have the same problem with my 2001 Punto Sporting since about two months. Checked all lights, no blown bulbs. But I don't worry much as long as the lights are on... ;)

Thanks for the advice here, thinking about it, the problem did start after a change of light bulb - I will check the wattages over the weekend. Many thanks,

Quite what Fiat have designed this indicator to do I don't know.

Yes, they do exist...
