Various systems not working

Post by MickyV »

Hi

My wife has a 206 cc 2001 plate 2ltr.

I recently fitted a set of 4 reverse sensors and stupidly did not disconnect the battery, I shorted out the reverse light system and blew the fuse to reverse lights (10amp) and a 20amp fuse that I could not find a listing for in the manual??? Replaced both and reverse sensors work but I have the following problems now.

No electric Windows
No folding roof
No wipers
No indicators
No central locking

Although you get a clicking from the wipers when selected from under the dash but no movement
Also a clicking from the indicators from under the dash but rapid like a blown bulb or bad earth

Radio keeps its channels, all side lights, headlights and brake lights work, including fogs.

We have no plip key for this car just a plain key

I have seen BSI reset procedure but as I cannot get drivers window down I cannot do this

Help please

Ah, Catch 22.

I have not had to do this, but it should work:

Remove the door card from the driver's door to expose the connector to the window motor. Disconnect and apply 12V to the motor, If you do it the "wrong" way, it will just try to go up, so reverse the wires and try again. Reconnect the motor, replace the door card, shut the door and you should be able to do the BSI reset.

Come to think of it, why not just have a helper inside the car? You can shout, or use mobiles to communicate your instructions. The window is only required to be open to operate the ignition and the light switch.
