Peugeot 206 - Peugeot 206 wipers frozen then electrical fault - BigG2

Hi, its my own fault but tried to use wipers when frozen. All I got was a clicking in the general fuse box area.They eventually worked but now whilst driving all the electrics intermittantly fail ie speedometer,temperature,radio,headlights all cut out for a second then kick back in.

Battery seems fine -car starts up first time and doesnt seem to be a fuse because everything works when tested.

Anyone have any ideas because if I drive at night it will look like i am flashing my headlights at everyone

Sounds like a short circuit, that could be caused by damage to the wiper motor or maybe burnt out wiring due to overload,

Even though the car starts fine the battery could be faulty. The Pug forums are full of cars at this time of year which start OK but have electrical gremlins.

Make sure you do a BSI reset when changing the battery.

If that doesn't fix it, your COMM2000 unit may be faulty. Google "COMM2000 Bradford" for a very reliable chap who fixes them very cheaply.
