hi, i hope someone out there can help me. I have a 406 diesel, p reg. When i turn the indicators on left or right, all four come on together, i've had an auto electrician look at it he said it was a fault in the alarm/immobiliser system and i should take it to peugeot. This i did, they said it was the indicator stalk and charged me £200 for a new one. In short, it wasn't fixed, they took it away for another two days, told me they didn't know what it was, and it would cost me more money to find out. At £50 an hour + vat, needless to say i declined, it's a great car and i would be very glad of any advice.

Hi and welcome to the forum :thumb:

Here are some possibilitys-

Did the auto electrician check the relay for the indicator sounds as though its sticking open hence 4 indicators on at the same time.
A faulty hazard light switch or
the rotary indicator switch

You need to replace the indicator as it is a fault, more than likely it's not the stalk switch they are not designed to fail like this. Peugeot since the 406 have used a new electronic version limiting any failure like this, tell your dealer to refund you the money, what a disgrace, kick up a stink and demand they rfund you and take it to a reputable peugeot dealer.
