optickleerjs Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Hi AllThis morning my wife tells me that the windscreen wipers are going on my Dispatch van (2012 Enterprise 1000) and both the side lights and main beam lights are on!! The key is safely in my pocket and I didn't leave the lights on!!?? The van started ok and I got to work with no isuses with everything electrically working fine on the vehicle. When I stopped and removed the ignition key, making sure the lights were switched off, I waited a few minutes just to see what would happen and lo and behold the wipers started going and the lights came on again. Weirdly I found out that when I either opened or shut the van door the problem stopped!! Eventually I decide to disconnect the battery for obvious reasons. Reconnected the battery at home time and van started fine. I've arrived home and when I switched off there was a funny "buzzing" noise coming from the fuse box area under the bonnet? The wiper/light problem is still there ie they keep coming on for no reason!!! Can anybody explain what's happening here please and/or point me in the right direction to get it sorted?? Thank you very much in advance John Quote
Johndouglas Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Did you disconnect and reconnect the battery in the prescribed PSA manner? If you don't it can lead to all sorts of electrical malfunctions. If you don't know the method see it here and go down to post No7:-:- http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/15093-bsi-reset/ Quote
optickleerjs Posted September 19, 2015 Author Posted September 19, 2015 Hi John Many thanks for getting back to me sorry for late response. Yes, I did follow these instructions. Unfortunately, things have got progressively worse and now I have a van that won't start at all with all manner of warning lights lit up!! Not good At a total loss really, so much so that I've had to book it into the dealership for diagnostics! Something, I fear, that is going to prove very costly, possibly too costly for me :-(Any pearls of wisdom will be greatly received at this juncture Thanks again for getting back to me John Quote
paul.h Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 How did you get on at the dealer ? It is as though a relay is sticking on so whilst the ignition is switched off the comms 2000 switch unit under the steering wheel is still live. On our C5 when the battery has been flat the wipers and lights have come on when trying to start it but that is with the key in the ignition. Quote
