Wow ! Reading through that description just fried my brain ! Must be getting too old for this :lol:
Is the BSI configured correctly? I.e. is the type of locking fitted configuration correct and is it configured as right hand drive? Also is it configured as mercosour ( not sure on the spelling there ). If it is then this can cause locking problems.

 

This car & its owner have had a bit of a rough time lately

lets see if anyone Knows how to sort out what is a Minor Matter compared to what was wrong with it

 

Maybe a miss match with new BSI, Have you tried disabling auto locking (Ign ON press and hold lock button until beep/bong)

 

Its not a new BSI though it is still his own one reconfigured must be getting wrong signals somehow from door catches

 

Great news on getting in running, read the story on holiday. Only thing I can think of trying is a BSI reset which can cure minor electrical niggles and/or locking the car while the drivers door is open, might straighten the software out.

 

Hi wynb I've seriously considered a bsi reset but I'm a bit worried that it might default to how it was after I reprogrammed it and then step by step reconfigured it ( ie changing things like driving on left to right, DPF fitted etc) do you think the bsi should retain all the changes I made after the reprogram? I seem to recall that after I got it started again I did a reset and everything had gone and I had to start again...does the bsi have a battery of its own? thanks again

 

I'm guessing it doesn't have a battery otherwise the date and time would not be lost when the main battery is disconnected. Settings must be held somehow in the circuits? Hopefully someone else has more idea.

On the link this chap reccomends pulling out the shunt fuse for 15 mins.

Ask The Mechanic-Peugeot

Any luck with locking the drivers door when its open?

 

Just a thought the date/time on mine is lost when battery is disconnected, always has been.....I think, not sure now. I'll hold off from doing a bsi reset for a while, I have new front discs/pads to fit maybe tomorrow and then its mot......and then up for sale.

 

Further thought, its possible there is nothing wrong with the BSI and the fault lies with drivers door lock microswitch?

 

I tried locking/unlocking with drivers door open.....no change. re drivers door microswitch, the response is the same if front passenger door is opened too.....I'll summon up the nerve to do a bsi reset and keep my fingers crossed that a) it fixes it and b) it doesnt revert back to how it was .....in fact I'll go and try it now!

 

Defeated?

Seems like my auto locking doors problem has defeated the collected resource that is this forum. Very strange isnt it? I am the only person ever to have had this...I've tried each and every suggestion (and thanks again to those who did suggest) to no avail. It's mad isnt it.... this forum enabled me, with no experience of any diagnostics whatsoever, to start a car that had been in a garage for 10 weeks,......yet there appears to be no answer to this last irritating problem.....ah well anybody want to buy a 2004 807 2.2Hdi executive wuth new alternator and cam belt......and a planet kit?

 

Done a little research, central locking is activated on either front door with a twist of the key. Clearly when you open the door the BSI is getting a signal from the lock microswitch that the door is open but instead (or as well) of switching on the interior lamps the central locking is activated. I guess the battery disconnection has got it confused. Couple of things worth trying:
Shut the doors and switch the central locking on and off say 10 times with the key finally locking it then leave it for say and hour and see any improvement.
Didn't work? Next idea, open the door and manually close the lock hook fully (2 clicks) with a screwdriver on the side of the door (leaving it open) and start the engine. With the engine running unlock the door by operating one of the handles, if CL doesn't activate shut the door and switch off engine. Get out, lock it and leave for an hour and give it a try.

 

Cheers wynb I'll try both of those tomorrow and let you know. It's annoying but not the end of the world...I'm using the car all the time now unless I have a tour to do (Barra Island Tours - Home) just to keep it in use and show any prospective buyers on the island that it's fine. I really like it, much higher standard of trim than my new C4 Grand P, more toys and much roomier for me and passengers......pity it's fuel consumption wasnt like the C4 (and excise licence wasnt £0)

 

Sorry I'm stuck to know what to do. I thought about disconnecting the door lock connector but this could well make matters worse because the BSI uses the signal from the door opening and closing to trigger quite a few things, you can hear the relays chattering away when the door closes.
Only suggestion is a BSI reset but I can understand why you aren't keen to try this....

 

I am going to pluck up the courage to do a reset....even if it all resets to ground zero I know what to do now to get it all back again. I'll update you when I have!
