#1: 2003 fuse layout Author: Jooo, Location: BristolPosted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 9:48 am ---- Hi all.
Just looking at a diagram trying find the offside side light fuse but not having much luck. Am I having a serious blond moment or is there some simple explanation why the front and back o/s side lights went out along with the number plate lights? It's a 206 on a 52 plate but it has the 2003 fuse box by the look of it. The previous year seemed to have a fuse for the o/s side lights.
Technically the circuit is protected by MF07. The number plate lights get a feed from the BSI and both rear lights take a separate feed each, as well as the front lights using 2 feeds, so basically all the sidelights are on separate circuits.
If it's not the bulbs, then you are looking at the BSI.
If all rear lights were out, I'd have said check the earth point in the boot behind the left light.

Does it mean loads of cash or is it simple to sort out?

#4: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 2:10 pm ---- Have you noticed if the cigarette lighter light is out as well?
Try a BSI reset, this sometimes sorts circutry problems out, try a few times until you are convinced it is not going to sort it out, got mine working again that way.
If no luck then probably a resistor has blown in the BSI as macca has pointed out.
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. If performing a soft reset, leave the battery disconnected for a few minutes.
* 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.
Is the BSI easy to reset? If not, is it a costly job to replace?
I will also check the cigarette lighter first thing tomorrow. If that's not working, could it mean another problem?

The cigarette lighter bulb is what i was on about, works of the same loop as the side lights and number plate lights, the cigarette lighter itself is fused seperately.
Have you done anything to the electrics prior to noticeing the sidelights and number plate lights not working.
#8: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: Jooo, Location: BristolPosted: Mon Apr 21, 2014 2:21 pm ---- The cigarette lighter works but the light around it isn't. No electrical work has been carried out before the problem occurred.
Messages seem to stay in the outbox and not get sent. I replied to your message.

#11: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri Apr 25, 2014 1:43 pm ---- And I've replied to yours, so now the message you sent me will have moved from the outbox to the sentbox because it has been opened
When Drewden opens the message from you, that too will move to the sentbox
#12: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Fri Apr 25, 2014 4:40 pm ---- Have problems on this site myself, not recieved a message as yet from jooo.
Do not know if its internet explorer 9, causing problems, everytime i use this site i have to keep refreshing every page i go on to.
#13: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: Jooo, Location: BristolPosted: Sat Apr 26, 2014 12:58 pm ---- Hi all,
I have just noticed that my PM to Macca is now in my sent box so maybe it is me doing something wrong.
Anyway, what I was asking Drewden was this.
What are your views on picking up live feed from the working side and connecting it to the dead side on the lights? Is this a possibility?
Julie
#14: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Sun Apr 27, 2014 8:44 am ---- When i had the identical problem as yourself 3 years ago, I got Lee who is on this site, to my car who was going to piggy back the wiring, (as you are asking) but for some unknown reason that was not possible.
To cut a long story short, i ended up through a friend, getting a bloke who was a wizard in electronics and the like, and repaired a resistor inside the engine fusebox, and also did something to the BSI fusebox under the steering wheel.
#15: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Tue Apr 29, 2014 4:50 am ---- How are you progressing jooo, have you tried a BSI reset, did it achieve anything.
If you live in yorkshire, i could possibly help you out with the guy who fixed mine.
#16: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: Jooo, Location: BristolPosted: Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:51 am ---- Hi Drewden. No luck with the BSI reset. Tried it a few times as suggested but no luck.
Think I might have to find a car spark to do what you had done to yours. I live in Bristol so Yorkshire is a bit far away.
Or not bother and just drive during daylight hours!

No probs, obviously you will need to fix it before MOT time, will you kindly report back please what the fix was, just interested to know, also it will help other people.
Thanks
#18: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: Jooo, Location: BristolPosted: Wed Apr 30, 2014 12:25 pm ---- Thanks Drewden. I will post the fix (hopefully) as soon as I get it sorted. MOT mid June!
#19: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: Jooo, Location: BristolPosted: Sat May 10, 2014 3:59 am ---- Hi all,
Connected a length of wire from the working rear side light and connected it to the non working side and it worked a treat! All side lights and number plate lights are now working. Took around 30 minutes and most of that was trying to find the right wires to connect to as they are slightly different both sides.
Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks everyone.

So it would appears the fault lies 'upstream' from where you patched into (where did you?) that circuit.
#21: Re: 2003 fuse layout Author: Jooo, Location: BristolPosted: Sat May 10, 2014 12:53 pm ---- I used a 12v circuit tester to locate the side light feed from the working side and connected it to the opposite side. Worked perfectly.
