Head Light Switchs (Help needed)

You're going to need to remove it and send it out for repair.

Occasionally there is a replacement available, but I've only seen 2 or 3 in the last four years, and I don't know of a Fiat replacement, although there may be one.

Unobtainium supply can repair it for you here in the US.

I had a problem with mine a long time ago. Was able to fix it by cleaning and slight bending.

Before you start, make sure the problem is really in the switch. The switch drives relays and the relays light the lights. You can use a meter and a jumper to see if the relays are OK.

If it is the switch, take the steering wheel and hub off. No need to remove wheel from hub. Pop the horn button out and use a special 4 tooth socket to remove the wheel retaining nut. Any Ferrari shop has this socket and they might lend it to you if asked nicely. If not, make one from a socket using a hand grinder and a cut-off wheel. Sometimes the nut will be loose enough to get it with a pair of stout long nosed pliers. Try first.

Now you can see the mess. Lots of wires going in all directions. Be very careful taking anything apart since there are small springs and detent balls just waiting to jump out, never to be seen again. If you are lucky, you will be able to see what is broken and fix it. A meter and a few jumpers should let you find the missing contact points.

When finished, make sure the wheel nut is TIGHT.

Good luck,

John
