why!!

do people cut all the wires off in the fiats
wires are cut under the dash and to the door jam switch. was they in the way?

[spidernut]

They cut them because they can. With more modern wiring harnesses, people are afraid to cut the wiring. On older cars, people think that they have sufficient skills to cut individual wires. That, and people are basically idiots.

[fiat218]

I see why the wire was cut?
I hooked it all up, courtesy light works and a buzzer for the key lol
Annoying but that how it came so it stays put

[spidernut]

Use the door ringer to power your stereo. When you put the key in the ignition, it will power on. When you remove the key it will power off. It is a great modification!

[fiat218]

The courtesy light comes off that wire
Just by pass it some how?

It's another well known addiction.
just like over torqueing hose clamps.

Or people who fix there heater flap with pop rivets to the body

[fiat218]

I never seen that
But I got a car that had caulking on the nuts to hold them together lol
Striped or busted bolts! There was gobs of caulking holding it for strength

I always thought the door ringer sounded just like a dinner bell.
