2002 2.0 Electrical gremlins? - carl1968
Had this 406 HDI since August 2008, Model = Rapier Estate HDI (110), Recently it has had a tendency to switch on the front fog lights on it's own and if I do not switch them off it will also switch on the rear fog light,
The air con is ok whilst in motion but not when stationary (I think that the A/C colling fan is not working) looked at the relays and a gave the terminals a clean but no change. Latest thing is the hazard lights activated when braking heavily to avoid a side road pull out.
Does anyone else have any of these problems an if so is there a root cause or is the loom starting to fail?
Thanks

Is the BSi getting damp?

The rad fans suffer from corrosion everywhere - nightmare wiring.

The hazards may be programmed to do that under emergency braking.
