FirstGen Fiat won't charge

[MadMaxFuriosa]

My FirstGen Fiat finally gave up after 8 years. It won't charge! Mechanic hit me with a $3,000++ quote for a new high voltage cable harness and cooling pump. Before I bite the bullet, are there after-market parts or junkyard options to explore to bring down the cost? All ideas welcome!

Try disconnecting the 12v battery for about 10 minutes. This can sometimes reset the system and get your charging working again.

You should first try using AlfaOBD to diagnose your car.
