Removing the Front Door Panel

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Door trim panel

Clean the glove compartment. Unscrew the three screws on the handle using a Torx key size 3. Remove the handle by sliding it off the opening knob. Unscrew all the screws around the panel, starting by removing the speaker grille to access additional fixing screws. Unscrew the screws securing the pillar cover and remove it. Some screws are hidden under plastic caps that need to be removed using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the panel. Pull the panel to release all the plastic clips. Carefully slide the panel upwards to disengage other clips. Disconnect the speaker wires. Gently peel back the protective film using a blade, taking care not to damage the sealant. You now have access to the internal components.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
