To find the Wire just get multimeter on the stalk, will take
2mins to do.

A lot of new cars do this now, so it could be a case of keeping up with the Jones as they say

And yes you can easily get a multimeter in there. +12v on the sidelight circuit would turn the ignition on, so you need to protect with a diode.
#11: Re: Sidelights when unlocking Author: samreecestrange, Location: Folkestone, KentPosted: Tue Nov 22, 2011 7:48 am ---- UPDATE, the positive wire for the sidelights is the light blue cable on the left hand multiplug for the stalks.
However when the doors are shut and interior light fades the sidelights remain on, i know its the right wire from the interior light as im using it for footwell lights already.
anyone know whats going on here?

On my 206 and 307 if you push the lock button when the cars locked the amber lights flash. That's how I find my car in a car park lol I thought that's what it was for lol
