Peugeot 406 HDI...Central Locking problems.?

Question

The cental locking on my car (52 reg) has recently started to activate while I am driving... locking, unlocking which had never happened before. This is now also having an effect on my indicators. When in locked position they dont work and i then have to manually unlock the doors before they will operate again. This only lasts for a short period until central locking activates again and I have to go through the same procedure to get the indicators to work.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Answer 5

the exact same thing happened to my Peugeot. I ended up parking it in the front yard, filling it with dirt and converting it into a planter. I am confident I made a quality decision.

Answer 6

Central locking unit or a comm unit problem. Take it to your dealer and say the words "comm 2000" and watch their faces!

Answer 7

There used to be a "reset" button for central locking systems, try to find it (probably in the fuses box or below the steering wheel) and reset your system.

Answer 8

The words 'Peugeot' and 'Problems' were made to go together.
