Hey everyone,
my problem Fiat is back at it again. After getting my starter motor replaced, sometimes my power steering would not engage. It did this like two or three times, took a restart and it worked. Haven't had this issue the past few days.
Today after getting a headlight replacement, I went to my local part store to check for the bulbs I need. Came back, turned car on, check engine light with the yellow triangle, car ran fine tho. Drove home, grabbed my OBD scanner, and got P1851 Manufacturer specific code.
Looked it up, according to the internet, it is the Gear lever position sensor. I haven't had any problems with this before whatsoever, so I just cleared the code and went on my way.
It returned later, except this time with the red battery symbol. I restarted the car, battery symbol went away. Cleared it again, drove half a mile, it came back. Sometimes it is with the battery symbol, sometimes not. What could the issue be, what should I look into first?
I feel like this mechanic pulled a connector to get me to spend more money, after overcharging me for the headlights he tried upselling me new tires and springs (springs were changed two years ago and look brand new). I believe he may have done something to get me to blow more money on his shop. First thought this could be related to me disconnecting the battery (to ease access to the bulb housing), but I don't believe it could be from that.
What should I look at first? Maybe try checking connectors (where are they located related to this), swap out something etc.
Shifting etc. works without problems, only start stop is permanently off (which honestly I love, excluding those two warning lights).
Thank you!
