SOURCE: Fiat Punto indicators

you need to change the flasher unit .... also check fuse # 24 on the fuse panel inside the vehicle. the flasher unit should be just under the dash on the steering wheel side... i have alot of information on that vehicle but i couldn't find where exactly the flasher unit is located.

SOURCE: fiat punto acceleration problems

nikki,

I had a similar problem with a 98 sporting. It turned out to be firstly the clutch had worn down to almost nothing and the fuel filter hadn't been changed in a good while so it got clogged. I would do the filter first. (located just under the drivers side near the rear wheel.

Unable to open the boot on my 407 with remote or button

Have you tried your spare remote, it may just be the remote button is defective. If no then the electric latch motor is defective or some how jammed

HOW DO I RESET THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON DASH,I CHECKED THE PRESSURE AND ITS ALL GOOD AND I DONT HAVE THE BUTTON IN MY CAR

there is a button on the left hand side of your turn signal lever that says bc. there is also a button on that switch that can be pushed up and down. start your car finger up on the small switch on your turn signal until you see the tire light symbol. once you see the symbol in you instrument cluster press the bc button once then hold it until it says resetting. drive the car and the light will go off in a matter of minutes maximum.

Mercedes e class cannot open the boot

I have a e320 2003 model, the same has happened to me. I wondered if it could be the fuse but couldn't find a fuse that managed the boot.....
This problem is identical to the other post "boot wont open electronicaly by the boot release latch above the number plate, the boot release button inside the car or the key fob! I have to use the manual key to mechanically open it now."

Unlocking Boot lid

I am assuming your problem is similar to mine; the key fob isn't dead, but for some reason the boot won't release.  This happens rarely, but can be very frustrating (and embarrassing)!

When neither the key fob nor the release on the boot work, lock and unlock the car, and insert the key into the ignition.  Turn the key to the second stage, i.e. the accessories are powered, and then remove the key.  This ought to allow you to use the fob again.

Renault Megane 1999/2000

Cant help with the creaking. However the boot catch is simple enough. Check the screws around the catch, tightening loose ones, i Bet the catch is off centre, as it was with mine.
