Ignition coming on of its own accord in my Peugeot 806

Peugeot 806 ignition won't turn off without brake pedal being depressed, then comes on again on its own when the door is opened - even without keys in.

Would suggest that you check your fuse boxes as it would appear that the circuits are crossing over. Check for corrosion/looseness of the actual fuse holders.
If you can't see anything then we would suggest you need a auto electrician/wiring diagram.
