Thank you very much. Well, ironically the problem reappeared yesterday, the lights had the exact same behaviour, but this time it happened in the early moning. I then took the car again in the late afternoon and the lights were still on, so I'm suspecting that it is related to the poor outside light...

Ok I've been really busy these days and since this is more of a "pleasure" car I usually don't drive to work (I have a 208 as a "work" car), the 406 has been sitting for like 10 days. Of course the battery went a little down (in fact when i turned it on, the starter sounded like it was struggling a ...

Thing is, the dedicated button on the stalk could be the issue - it was on my old 406. By disabling the auto lights with PP2000 then they are effectively made non functioning so the auto lights are permanently off, even if you turn them on with the stalk. The button on the end of the stalk has a co...

I don't think there are any values you can monitor. As Steve says there are several sensitivity settings, but I've never tried changing them. GM is right about potential Comm2000 / stalk issue - my old 406 kept turning the auto lights back on by itself due to a dodgy stalk until I disabled the func...

How can I check if the sensor is broken? I'Ve already cleaned the windshield by the way

Good morning everyone. I've a 2004 406 coupé D9 2.2 Hdi. Yesterday in the early afternoon I was driving back home, when I passed under a tunnel and the auto lights turned on. But when I left the tunnel, they stayed on and never went off. Disabling the auto lights and turning the manual switch on and...

Thank you! I eventually found the thread you were talking about!

Hi, welcome to the club :mrgreen: The button on the end of the stalk can be swapped over, the contact inside wears out. The big piece behind the steering wheel on cars later than 2000 are called Comms units, which is a single unit that all 4 stalks connect to ( indicators, wipers, cruise control an...

Hello, I own a 2004 Peugeot 406 Coupé 2.2 HDi. In the last couple of days I've noticed the trip computer switch/button (the one on the wiper stalk, just to be more clear) has started to behave a little weird, since I sometimes had to push it a little too hard or a couple of times in order for it to ...
