Just jumped into the missuses Punto and....
I noticed the High beam warning flash on then, I lost the following
All lights
Interior light
Brakes lights
Indicators
Central locking
Radio
The digital clock flahes on and off and the bulb blown indicator light comes on when I try to use the indicators.
I have all dials, though the fuel guage clicks before reading.
The full beam works when I flash it.
Any ideas

I think I saw a scene like that in Close Encounters. Are you sun burnt and sculpting your mash?

our punto mk1 used to have all sorts of electrical problems mostly caused by rain getting in the rear light cluster and shorting stuff. solution was to take the cluster off (big bolt in the c pillar) dry it off, (airing cupboard if full of water) spray contactswith wd40. repeat every timeit rained! 😯

my cousin permantley fixed it by rolling through a hedge and writing the thing off!

It is a Fiat, they are designed to do that - it is inherent functionality.

Or it is an earthing problem or somethign like that.
