I've got M reg punto and have a similar problem with the brake lights and
had to take off the rear light panel, fiddle with the connections, unplug
the unit and reconnect it to get it working. Got them fixed at a garage.
They just reconnected a wire under the brake pedel but just noticed they've
gone off again. I'm not sure what the solution is - buy Japanese?

Not unknown with Fiats. Riveting the various electrical
conducting strips together doesn't seem too reliable.
Over the years I've had to rework many Fiat fittings,
replacing the riveted connections with soldered
connections, or soldered jumper wires.
Use of tie wraps, or insulating tape, has also been
needed to retain connectors in place.
