Electrical Problems
I have a number of problems on my Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0. The first is
that the Hand Brake and ABS light indicators on the dashboard flash occasionally, most noticably after going over a bump. The speedometer also sometimes cuts out before coming straight back on and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. The Second problem I am having relates to the AirBag Warning Light being on constantly. The problem initially occured when my car went in for its 70,000 mile service. When I picked the car up I noticed that only some of the electrics were working on the dashboard when the lights were on full beam only. Other items affected include the 3 console dials not lighting up, the horn does not work, the speedometer does not function, the wind screen wipers only work very slowly if at all also the indicators flash much quicker than normal. I took the car back to the garage (Perrys of Aylesbury) where they told me the problem was due to a faulty Air Bag ECU and in deed this did appear to solve the problem however upon the completion of cleaning my car recently the problems have all started again I also topped up the washer fluid so had the bonnet open fo 2 minutes. I would be extremely greatful if anyone could shed some light on either of the above faults as I have lost all faith with the garage. On another note does anyone know what make of car radio is in the Alfa Romeo GTV and does the car come pre fitted with all of the necessary connections for a CD Multi Changer. Kind Regards An otherwise happy Alfa Romeo Owner. |

Brake warning light flickers are often caused by low brake fluid levels.
Electrical problems certainly indicate some sort of problem that should be looked at. Air bag warning light problems are usually triggered by a poor connection below the seat and once on require resetting by your garage or the proper tool. This can also be caused by a faulty "clock spring" You should really look to www.gtvv6.com where you will find solutions to many of your problems and experience of many other GTV/Spider owners.
