A common issue that occurs with the Fiat 500 is a malfunction in the air conditioning system, where the heating stops working at a certain point and only cold air comes out even when the temperature is set to 3°C. The YouTuber dismantled the entire dashboard and unfortunately, the only solution seemed to be replacing the entire air conditioning unit - which is quite expensive - because there are no spare parts available.

Upon inspection, it was found that the cause of the issue was a broken pin that is responsible for switching between hot and cold air, and is controlled by a motor.

The YouTuber ingeniously built a new pin to control this function and reinstalled it, allowing the motor to properly operate the switch between hot and cold air.
