Economy Mode And Rear Door Problems

[Guest Atma108]

New member here, :rolleyes: greetings from Winchester to you all.I hope this is posted in the right place... :blink:

I have delema with my C5 2.2 HDI SX 02 and hope someone can help with this.

Unable to start car and various other problems so sent BSI to BBA re-manufacturing, they found the BSI was not usable, so I bought a new one on Ebay, took the car by trailer to the dealer who re-installed the software. Car runs but is showing economy mode, as well as this the rear wiper runs when a door is opened or shut. Rear door does not open and the rear door window does not work either. Very simular to some of the problems that were there prior to the new BSI.

I have tested the switchs and selonoid for the rear door and window, checked the wiring from the rubber boot into the door, still found nothing.

If anyone can help with this I will be very greatful, I cannot see a similar problem after looking everywhere..I have seen one thing listed where a C5 owner had the dealer sort out a rear wiper problem caused by the 'radio'?

Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.....By the way live in Winchester, the dealer charged £45 for the reset on the new BSI including three keys redone...Ended up paying £80 due to empty fuel tank and? But still not bad. No I did not have the dealer sort it out, money just now is in short supply :lol: I think if it was the BSI a New BSI and re-installation of the software should have sorted it.

 

Does anyone know if this could be a ground fault or bad battery? Or? What colour wire on the rear loom would be tested for live feed? Any suggestions??? Thank you.. :wub:

does the economy mode come on after the car has been left standing for a while?

fairly sure that the fault with thew wiper is a earth issue or to do with the central locking (remember reading it somewhere)

the doors not opening is this sounds like a very common lock problem. Can you open them from the inside

Thanks for the reply..

I have solved all the problems except for the 'Economy Mode' display...The problems came from the wiring to the BSI, I bought the car as a non-runner, the BSI had been taken off by a roving mechanic and sent to BBA reman. So when I bought the car the problems where there with a faulty BSI, and unknown to me was the wiring to the BSI was not quite right. So when I bought a new BSI and then had the dealer install the software, the car started but still had these problems. Random wipers at rear, rear window and door not opening. After reinstalling the BSI carefully, the problem was found with the wiring to the BSI....Now I just have the economy mode showing....It maybe that this will sort itself after I run the car, but no tax or mot at the moment...

Is it possible that a older battery could cause the 'economy mode display?

Can the 'economy mode' be reset by doing a BSI reset?

 

Many thanks
