#1: Windscreen wipers & indicators stopped working Author: karenal51, Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2014 2:48 pm ---- Hi Guys,
after some advice please. went to work this morning and all was fine with the car, came back at lunch jumped in the car and the windscreen wipers and indicators had stopped working, I can turn the lights on from the stalks and also use the rear screen wash, but not the wiper, also the hazard warning lights have stopped. I have checked all fuses in all 3 (fuse box, bsi and under the bonnet) places and none are gone ? any ideas ? its a 2000 w reg 2.0 hdi,
thanks

No comms unit on a pre-plex. They're independent stalks.
I'd be tempted to check all the harness connections to make sure a plug hasn't come loose.

#8: Re: Windscreen wipers & indicators stopped working Author: frenchfrog40, Location: MaidstonePosted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 9:15 am ---- this is what i do, found it on the forums:
Multiplexed Electrical System
When disconnecting the battery to do electrics, or just to change it, you need to follow this guide. Failure to do this could result in a £600 bill from Peugeot!
* Put down the drivers window.
* Pop and Open the bonnet. Shut ALL DOORS apart from the bonnet.
* Leave the car for at least 3 minutes. This allows the BSI to shut down and go to "sleep."
* Disconnect the clamps on the battery, and change/do electrics/whatever you are planning to do.
* When reconnecting, reattach the clamps on the battery. Don't shut the bonnet yet. Leave the car for a few more minutes. This allows the car to settle.
* Lean through the drivers window, and turn the sidelights on. (Don't open the door.)
* This is called a "Soft Start" for the BSI.
* Let the car finish thinking about everything, and check all the systems etc.
* Start the car.

The car is a 2000 so therefore pre-plex.

Non-plexed Electrical System
* You may need your radio code upon reconnection
* If your car has a Peugeot anti-theft alarm system, disable this
* Disconnect the negative terminal first
* Disconnect the positive terminal
* Complete intentions
* Now to re-connect, Connect the positive terminal first
* Connect the negative terminal
* Before starting the engine for the first time, turn on the ignition and wait for 10 seconds to initialise the various electronic control units
* Activate alarm system, if you have one

#11: Re: Windscreen wipers & indicators stopped working Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sun Jan 12, 2014 6:26 am ---- As far as I know pressing the key fob after reconnecting the battery only resyncs the remote for the central locking. Pretty sure that this isn't a major part of the procedure as the remote fob may not be available if the owner only has the Valet key.
Somebody who has a pre-plex might be able to tell you if they have ever had problems by not having the remote key, but I would follow the beginners guide as any advice from Lee is usually spot on.
