#1: Headlights randomly turning on Author: adam_16v, Location: KentPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 4:00 pm ---- I've noticed recently when driving to work, that my headlights turn on to dipped beam randomly for about 3-5seconds, then off again. My hands are no where near the light stalk and the dash illuminates along with the headlight symbol as it would normally if they were turned on.
there's no one thing that makes it happen, one time was indicating and braking for a roundabout, the other when I was parallel parking.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions would be great as its getting frustrating.

#3: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 4:04 pm ---- I had this happen a few weeks ago, only the once when I started the car. I put it down to a BSI glitch.
Mines multi-plexed. Don't know if yours is pre-plexed or multi-plexed as you haven't said. Might help solve a problem if you give more details.
#4: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: adam_16v, Location: KentPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 4:12 pm ---- Ah forgot the details, its multiplexed and no I dont have auto headlights. Is it worth taking the battery off in the proper way and rebooting it?

#8: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: NathanG, Location: Ebbw Vagas (Wales)Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:31 am ---- Mine was exactly the same so i ended up driving with side lights on all the time because every time i indicated my headlights would come on then go off randomly. Driving with sidelights on stopped this for a while until i could buy a new Comms2000 unit because that was the problem. Put up with it for ages. Bought the new unit and never had a problem since.

#10: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: adam_16v, Location: KentPosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 2:40 am ---- I've read about how to disconnect the battery etc so ill try that later today. How much is a comms2000 unit and would I only get it from Peugeot? Sounds pricey.
#11: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 6:22 am ---- Most likely the com2000 unit.
The dipped headlights will also come on if there is a CAN comunication problem on the multiplex nextwork
Any other odd electrical issues at same time like instrument cluster dials stop working?
#12: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: adam_16v, Location: KentPosted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:45 am ---- Not that i've noticed, just the headlights coming on. Could it be a loose wire on the unit? Where is it located? I take it I could get a second hand one down the scrappy to test?
#13: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:47 am ---- Scan it with Peugeot Planet.
99.9% its gonna need a new or service / exchange com2000 unit fitting.

Mine has auto stuff on it though so if your's doesnt have that it should be cheaper. Easy to fit aswell.
#15: Re: Headlights randomly turning on Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 7:22 am ---- I had a new COM2000 (auto lights/wipers) fitted a couple of weeks ago by my local Pug dealer, not much change from £320 tho, but that did include diagnosis VAT labour etc. Only problem I have now is that the horn doesn't work !!!! Another trip to dealer me thinks !

Most likely wasnt connected back up correctly when the com was replaced BUT they should have tested it before it left the workshop.
Take it back
