[Rodtrotter]

Got the c3 back from dealers where I bought it from its no longer pulling to the left some bits and bobs I need advice on

Auto on lights how do I know if I have them and hod do I activate and deactivate them

Folding mirrors don't fold no sound from the motors

N/S head light leveller not working coud this be the motor ?

I checked the front springs they don't have the cups fitted should they have had this done recall work ?

Thanks for any help

Did you find out what was done to stop it pulling to the left (to add to the info on the forum)?

 

Auto headlights - our C3 (1.4SX, petrol, 2003) does not have them and the required light sensor is not stuck to the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. Our C5 did and to activate them the button was held in at the end of the lighting stalk. It may have needed the engine on to do this. We also had them on a C4 and here the light switch had to be turned to the position with a square.

 

Folding mirrors - again not on our C3. Citroens with them have a switch on the driver's door with a window picture on and this is pulled back to move the mirrors (sideways allows adjustment of the mirrors). Have they ever worked and what model is your car ?

 

Headlight levellers share the same fuse so if one side does not work them could be a faulty motor, electrical connector or wiring.

If you have the car handbook it should say which fuse does the door mirrors (our handbook says dashboard fuse F22 but this also does mirror adjustment and number plate lights so easy to check). If this is ok then it could be a broken wire where it goes from the body to the door. Also could be something to do with the dash mounted mirror switch, handbook says to turn so pointing down to fold mirrors and back again to open mirrors, check if the connector is fully on the back of the switch.

 

Handbook says to activate auto headlights - turn ignition key to accessories position, move lighting switch to position O, press at the end of the control stalk until confirmation sound given.

Thanks for your help Paul got the lights working just like you said but no luck with mirrors no sound coming from the motors I wonder where the motors are for the mirrors ?

The parts diagram does not show if the motor to fold the mirror is in the mirror housing or the base fastened to the door but it has its own part number so will be available.
