Not Nova but please help!

[chimp007_uk]

Right, Asi was doing so many miles in the nova and i jinxed it by saying i never had any problems with it... 3weeks ago it died, so i had to insure my Peugeot 306 Dturbo...

The car is great ont he motorways etc and fuel But this week, its been really wierd...

I went out tothe car at work this week to find the dash lit up... Then when trying to start it, the keypad immobiliser wasn't working... Then when eventally i got it running, i could take the keys out the ignition and it would still run witht eh dash lit up...

And also, there doesn't seemt o be an ignition live tot he stereo anymore!?!

I know most will say, et over it, its a french piece of poo... buts i've had it 5years and its done me proud!

Having to stall it to stop the engine is a tad embarrassing...

Please help!

Cheers
Chris

Awake this morning? But going by the sounds of it, it could be dodgy wiring, short, if you disconnect the batt does it die straight away? without having to stall it??

[chimp007_uk]

sorry, I'm awake

It doesn't doe because the alternator keeps it running

Is the stereo wired up? are the stereo wires taped up if not?

[chimp007_uk]

Stereo was wired up... but ripped it outlast night in a rage!! Its using allt he genuine pug wiring so all good there!

[Andy]

Thats the only place i can think of where is causing that to happen,just check all the wires around that area because when i wired my stereo up (had to rewire the connectors because twockers chopped them) dont know which wires touched, but the battery light came on. Mines a Hdi BTW.Also dont know if your aware but these cars leak aswell through the drvers door speaker

[chimp007_uk]

The driver's door speaker is the least of my worries for leaks!!

the alarm sensor ont he a-pillar the control panel above your head!

No bear wores, stripped all the column away as well! and removed all relays wondering if one is stuck open... cant find which relays are what in the haynes manual?!?

Have you tried disconnecting the plug / wires on the ignition switch - maybe its the ignition switch itself.

This will be one of those features that french cars do now and again .

[chimp007_uk]

I've disconnected the ignition barrel, dismantled the whole thing...

Can;t work out why the ignition live is staying live...

It did it once randomly int he week, now its constant! I candrive it if i have to stall it to stop it an dthen disconnet the battery when i leave it anywhere

anyone?
