2012 fiat pop truck wont open
Asked by GuruDZ4Q4K Nov 10, 2023 at 12:10 PM about the 2012 FIAT 500 Pop
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have the famous "trunk won't open" problem. Found the switch
was faulty and repaired. Now still not working. No power coming in.
Wires seem fine. Tested the trunk release and it is fine. Tried
Dave's trick an nothing. Checked for fuses but couldn't really find
one for the hatch.
Don't know where else to look. Help please. thanks. This is a
Canadian car.

Fiat has a recall on this if yours was manufactured within a specific range of 2012 model year months..... I think the fuse for the hatch is F38 for the central door lock system. So if the doors lock, it's not the fuse and maybe the wiring got severed along the way. Try using a multi-meter to trace back to the break. Or complain to a Fiat dealer. They're used to it by now.

Run wire from battery to switch hold button down take the wire and touch the switch truck will open from the positive term on the battery

I did that as a system test and all works. Some where there is a power break further in the vehicle. Going to dealer today to see if they have a wiring diagram. Thanks for response.
