Wipers and headlights turn on by themselves

Hi there,
Recently my battery died on on my Peugeot Partner 1.6hdi, I changed the battery and ever since around a minute (give or take) after turning the van off, the lights and windscreen wipers come on by themselves.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Was the new battery fully charged when you put it in? If it's happened straight after the battery was replaced, you could try to leave the battery disconnected for an hour or so, but first the system needs to shutdown properly. Try leaving the bonnet open so that you can get at the terminals without opening the door, then remove the key, close the doors, lock the car and wait for 10 mins. I'm not sure if this will work, but worth a try. Another possibility is that there's something wrong with the BSI, but it's an odd coincidence.
