re: more Milano Q's

I think you mean the push-button switches in the front of the door 'casings'
that get activated by opening/closing the door?  Just open the doors and
look around, you'll see them.  My drivers' side switch is uncooperative also
and needs cleaning.

That was disconnected in a factory recall.  If you look at the harness right
there I bet you'll see the clipped-off end of the wire or a wire that's
doubled back into the harness.  Alfa apparently decided that sensor caused
more trouble than it's worth.

Good luck with your hesitation.  My guess (SWAG only) is the O2 sensor.
Check it out.
