central locking busted

ps: it's a 406 coupe

check fuses first

The only fuses i can find are next to the battery compartment, there is about six of them and they look ok. i would have thought that a car with this spec to have more.

My 406 is a saloon but should be similar. There is a fuse box in the cabin. Under the dash, just above the driver's right knee (assuming yours is a right hand drive car).

thanks, they were hidden behind that little compatment,i have just found them. dont know whats happening but i got up this morning and all is working ok. where do you think is the best place to get a clean live connection. i am thinking about running a wire straight from the battery or the fuse box. after what happened the other day i'm a scared to touch it in case i trigger something else. cheers dave

I am not that familiar with the wiring on Peugeots but I have to admit that in the '60s I often took a direct feed from the battery when I had my first old bangers. The only snag is that you do not then have the safety net of a fuse although I have seen in line fuse holders that you can buy and insert in the lead. The only other place that comes to mind is whether you can take a feed from the cigarette lighter.

Hopefully one of the gurus on this group will see this and give you a lead (excuse the pun).
