My Picasso has recently started to switch from main beam to dipped without being touched. The indicators also turn themselves off most of the time after a few flashes. The airbag light has come on briefly a few times. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks

Get a sacan done on the BODY SYSTEM INTERFACE,

This module is resposable for pretty much everything electrical in the car.

should be stored fault codes in it.

And they have a habit of letting water inside the electrics.

Thanks for the reply- I'll investigate that. Another thought: I've read quite a bit about the Comms 2000 module and its many faults. Could it be this?

Update: no fault codes were found, so I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new Comms unit. It was fairly easy to fit and so far everything seems to be working properly. There are many different variants though, so it's very important to obtain the right one.
