Battery/Indicators - Tom - 09-12-2012
Battery died the other day whilst fiddling with my heated mirrors got the jump pack on the and off i went , couldnt stop the alarm though that was interesting, finished on its own in the end. Anywho, I've now noticed my indicators dont flash when i lock or unlock the car... They never used to do it when locked only stay on for like a second or so when deadlocked, then when unlocked they flash rapidly a bunch of times then stop.... But yeh they're doing nothing now, my indicators work and hazzards so bulbs and all is ok.. Anyone know wasson here?

Dodgy earth wires, not points, most probably.
You'd be better off rewiring the whole lot
RE: Battery/Indicators - C2K - 09-12-2012
Seems a bit extreme, given that you haven't told us what you've done yet so i'm assuming that fuses and earth wires haven't even been checked?
RE: Battery/Indicators - Matt - 09-12-2012
I had this on the xsi, it ran flat and then indicators wouldn't work, and then the rcl wouldn't work at all. Had to unlock/lock of the door barrel
RE: Battery/Indicators - kingy - 09-12-2012
i had this. check you havnt trapped a wire when putting the wing mirror back. if thats ok then check the relay in the boot lid. sounds weired but thats what my mate changed and everything was fine after that.

Strangely enough ive found that some small electrical gremlins in Peugeots can usually be solved by disconnecting the battery for 20 mins then reconnecting it. not really sure why but i guess it resets some systems. last time i had my battery out all the central locking issues i was having solved themselves once i put the battery back in.

RE: Battery/Indicators - Tom - 09-12-2012
Fuse 9 was playing dead which is apparently side lights but my sidelights work so who knows ==
RE: Battery/Indicators - Niall - 09-12-2012
sounds stupid but is the bonnet alarm switch properly connected? Mine wont lock on the rcl if the alarm cant arm properly. took me ages to work it out, gave up for the night and slammed the bonnet and it worked!
RE: Battery/Indicators - Tom - 09-12-2012
Mine will lock its just the lights wont flash :/

This is what Ginge suggested as ideally it needs to be done

you can tell ginge he talks shit. Rewiring stuff is a last resort.
How did you get the car going again? Jump it or take the battery off and charge it?
RE: Battery/Indicators - Tom - 09-12-2012
I think rewiring the whole car is a bit extreme, everything electrical is working fine except this lol
I put a jump pack on it Niall, connected up gave it a few seconds then turned it over, and away it went.
I also left the battery off for an hour today and replaced the broken fuse and still no luck.
RE: Battery/Indicators - Niall - 09-12-2012
Checked all fuses? Jump starting can damage cars tbh.
RE: Battery/Indicators - Tom - 09-12-2012
Yep checked all the fuses, fuse 9 was blown only a little 5amp.. Replaced that no change

when you say changed, have you just done a visual check or actually checked them with a meter? they can blow and not look like they have.

RE: Battery/Indicators - Tom - 16-12-2012
Battery died again earlier.. Now the remote part of the central locking has stopped working haha oh dear someone help!
RE: Battery/Indicators - cully - 16-12-2012
id suggest putting the bsi to sleep disconnecting the battery then reconecting after 5 mins
RE: Battery/Indicators - Tom - 17-12-2012
Only time will tell now, giving it some time to reset it self
Sorted hazzards when unlocked are back aswell! haha silly peugeots
Cheers Cully!
RE: Battery/Indicators - cully - 17-12-2012
