Light go on, light go off...
01.18.04 (8:44 am)   [edit]
Fiat cars have always been known for having (among other things) quirky electrical systems. I came home last night in my Integra and was about to go in the house when I noticed light being reflected off the rear window of my Bertone (Fiat) X1/9. I thought at first that it was the reflection of the streetlight, but I walked over to the car and discovered that it was in fact the interior light in the passenger-side door panel that was on.

The Bertone has two-stage lights in the doors that can be on bright or dim, depending on the situation. The light was on in dim mode, which usually would only happen with the headlights on. The doors were closed tightly, the interior light switch was off, and the car hasn't been driven in three weeks, so I know it wasn't a matter of having left something on.

I opened the door and the light came on bright, I closed the door and it delayed for the factory-programmed 10 seconds before turning off. I just shook my head and decided it was time for bed. It takes a more intelligent man than me to figure out the electrics on an Italian convertible.

Perhaps the car got lonely and just wanted to turn on a light. Who knows. :)
