Light switch problems with 2004 Peugeot 206 petrol engine with 122401 KM

Lights are turning on

Error in the lighting

Hi guys, I have a problem with my 2004 Peugeot 206 petrol, it has 122401 KM behind it. The lights are going crazy, they just come on and I think it might be due to a limited function of the light switch. Have any of you had similar experiences and can give me a tip on how to fix this? My last visit to the garage was a disaster and I'd like to avoid having to go again. Thanks in advance!

Hi buddy, I experienced the same situation with my 2007 Peugeot 207 Diesel. First it was the lights, then other electronic components also began to function irregularly. The diagnosis was a defective control unit. This was quite a challenge because the control unit controls many important functions in the car. So it was actually a serious problem. In the end, the control unit had to be completely replaced. Hope that helps you a bit.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply! It's amazing that you also had such a problem with the control unit. Do you remember how much you had to pay for the repair? And did you have similar problems afterwards or was the control unit really the culprit? Many thanks in advance!

Hello, yes, I still remember it well. The repair of the control unit did indeed cost me something. It was €1000 in repair costs, but everything has been fine since the repair. The thing with the limited function of the light switch? Yes, that was also fixed when I had the car at the mechanic. Since then, the lights haven't gone crazy and I haven't had any similar problems. That's what I wanted to tell you. Hope this helps you!

Hello, 1000 €?! That's quite a lot of money, but if it fixes the problems, then it's probably worth it. You've really helped and I feel a bit better already. I think I'll have my control unit checked too. Judging by your experience, that seems to be the problem quite often. Thanks for your help and advice!

Hello, I know the problem with the lights going crazy in older Peugeots. It was similar with mine, and it turned out that the light switch or the so-called "combination switch" was the cause. These switches can wear out over time and cause malfunctions. A common symptom is that the lights go on and off uncontrollably. After the replacement, everything was ok again.
