....Dashboard lights Up like X-Mas Tree....

Post by Bosham4884 »

Hi, Goodevening....

I have had my 53` plate 2.0 CC for 6 months now with up to now no problems. For the 3rd time now whilst driving all the dash lights come on, Stop Now, Emmisions, Air-bag warning lights, pollution light etc,etc, for about 15 seconds and then they all go out again, it only seams to happen in damp weather.
My local Peugeot / Citroen spealist cannot find any fault, they have sent the BSI and Dashboard away to BAA Reman to be tested and they have both been returned with no fault found.
I was hoping that another member may have experienced the same problems, I have now got the vehicle at a vehicle Electrical Specialist in Portsmouth, but I thought i might do some leg-work for him.
Should i start by looking to replace battery, coilpack, catholetic convertor ?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated..

Many Thanks in advance........

Might be the battery is starting to fail. It might have a date label on it.

As it happens in the damp, also check the terminals as the damp can get under the clamp and cause a bad connection. I've had plenty of cars over the years that failed to start in the damp because of this. (It used to be a common trick to coat the battery terminals and inside of the clamps with a thin smearing of vaseline!)
