Default any fiat techies here ''stilo problems''

long shot i know but,
the car is a 2002 1.6 16v stilo dynamic 2 door
sometime when i start the car the dash instruments dont work also the power steering is off i turn off car and pull fuse 53 then push it back in it makes a sound like motor from behind the dash then all is good again.
this happens on and off.sometime the car wont rev when this happens. any ideas what this could be. or as anyone else had this problem.
asked on the fiat forum but they must all be in the garages fixing there fiats lol

Fiat electrics are like this. Worked for them 1988-92 and again 2002-3, and things randomly playing up are just part of the ownership experience.
