So I am at the Fiat dealer in Burlingame, CA trying to get the charging system diagnosed as the battery just died yesterday. Needed a jump and trickle charge last night to get it running.
I went online and I found there is a strange battery problem with these cars. I read when they are left UNLOCKED for a long period of time, the battery drains. Something in the 1 week range. Very odd but it was all over the 500 forum(s). I don't think that is the case with my car since it gets *some* driving most days but I do admit it can go a few days without a start but we ALWAYS lock it.
Anyway - hoping to find out what the deal is this morning.
:hmm:
