lighting problem

[Felix]

Peugeot Partner van LX600 2008
 
Firstly I have replaced the rear Light cluster however the problem persists The side light on the nearside both front and rear flash randomly even when the van is not running I therefore need to remove the battery lead overnight. This also happens when the van is being driven but seems to stop when the engine has warmed up (not completely) there is also a relay clicking underneath the front bulkhead.

Any help appreciated

Hi and welcome.

Its an odd one but i would be looking at water ingress contaminating the BSI due to a blocked drain holes in the scuttle.

When you have investigated this we will know more.

The drains in the scuttle fill up with debris over the years, I did mine a few years ago and got half a bucket of compost out of them. You have to remove the wiper stalks and the plastic cover under them to get to the drains one at each end. It wasn't affecting the BSI on mine but filling the footwell with water. The BSI (body systems interface) is under the dash below the steering wheel and to the right a bit and it has some fuses and relays controlling the cars functions. It's a pig to get out. Light problems could be the switch on the steering column, is the stalk loose at all ?
