Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, see how to resolve the annoying issue of the seatbelt sensor on the Fiat Grande Punto that keeps sounding. The problem usually relates to the sensor being filled with dust or dirt, causing it to malfunction. Unfortunately, this tiny part is not available as a spare, so the only solution is to clean it thoroughly. Here’s how to do it. First, remove the covers using a heat gun (a regular hairdryer will work fine) to soften the plastic and avoid damaging the covers, which will need to be reused. Use a flat screwdriver to open the inspection window of the sensor, then clean it well with a small brush, using mild solvents. Allow it to dry properly and carefully proceed with reassembly.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
